After Action Report
The Hornets held off the Lakers 118-109. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
