After Action Report

The Hornets edged the Lakers 134-127. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Hornets cashed in. Hornets' outside barrage was a constant threat; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Hornets bench chemistry carried them. The Hornets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
