After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Hornets 118-97. Lakers torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers steamroller is in full effect right now. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
