The Lakers handled the Hornets 121-109. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
