After Action Report

The Hornets downed the Lakers 89-79. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Hornets. Second-chance points piled up for the Hornets; the Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
