After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Hornets 120-95. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
