It was a fun night at Spectrum Center, although the game ended with a loss of 112-107 for Charlotte Hornets against the guest Los Angeles Lakers.
La jumped to the start of the red, and at one point he made twelve consecutive shots from the field, which opened the lead from an early 23 points. It was the perfect storm for Lakers, as Hornets couldn’t hit anything in the opening minutes of the game.
Although it was removed early early, the Hornets continued to stop and reached it to two in the fourth quarter. Josh Oki had a big night from the bench, a total of 19 points, four thefts and two assists, helping Charlotte stay available.
I rarely never give a nod to the opponent’s team and try to keep this as original as possible to Hornet, but I would be a fool not to admit the ridiculous first quarter that Anthony Davis had tonight. He scored 21 points at 9/12 shooting to go with 11 rebounds. This is the second time in the game era, which player has recorded 20+ points and 10+ struggles in the initial quarter.
At the beginning of the first half, Lamelo Ball accidentally stepped on Jared Vanderbilt’s foot as his back rotated back into the defense after making three. He got up pretty quickly and got out of the floor under his own power, which is an encouraging sign, but he did not return. Hornets fans hope it is a precaution, not a sign that it can be something that keeps it on the shelf for a long period of time.
The Hornets will continue their nine matches on Wednesday against the Brooklyn networks at 19:00 EST.
