After Action Report
The Hornets ran roughshod over the Lakers 136-106. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. The Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Early returns: the Hornets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
