After Action Report
The Hornets pulled away from the Lakers 114-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
