After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Hornets 119-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
