After Action Report

The Lakers squeaked past the Bobcats 109-105. Lakers' offense had its way with the Bobcats. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; shots just aren't falling for the Bobcats lately. Whispers of a Bobcats locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Bobcats · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bobcats · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
