After Action Report

The Lakers ran roughshod over the Bobcats 128-98. The Bobcats had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Bobcats rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
