After Action Report

In a track meet, the Lakers handled the Hornets 138-119. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
