After Action Report

The Lakers survived the Hornets 115-113. The Hornets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings.

What tipped it

  • Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
