After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers outlasted the Hornets 113-106. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

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.
