After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Hornets 114-78. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
