Tonight the Lakers take on the Charlotte Hornets. That one is picked. Kicked out by Plumlee. It's a three-on-one. Plumlee goes post. Two posts and scores. Pat there for three. Got him! Here is Thomas Bryant straight away. They leave him. He shoots and he scores. Washington on the other side. He attacks and gives it not a ball. On its way. And down it goes. Tell you what, LaMelo puts in a lot of work here. He's a shooter. Going all the way and kisses it off the window. LeBron trying to get in deep. And his little fall away from about 10-12 feet is good for LeBron James. Troy Brown fires from the corner. Ring up another three for the purple and gold. Looking for more and getting more. Time out. Pull up. Mid-range is good. Again, Plumlee went coast-to-coast already once tonight. Now Hayward for three. And he's got it. Gord Hayward. LaMelo wanders in and over Bryant with a little floater. Plumlee's going to spin and score. Shooter instead is going to give it to the trailer. Austin Reeves. We'll see if he can shoot his way out of a slump. And a good pass thrown down. Thomas Bryant from LeBron James. Bryant's there for two. It's a nice outlet by Austin Reeves. Thor's in the corner. The southpaw hits it from downtown. About two and a half remaining here in the quarter. All the way, lay it up and in. Lakers, you saw what they started. Their last field goal came in 3-16 and it opened their last six. But count this one and one. Here is Russ scooping and scoring with a little backhand layup off the window. Brown hook pass over to Austin Reeves. He sets and fires and gets. Austin Reeves for three. LeBron bullies his way in. Count it. If they were going to foul him there, you've got to wrap him up. LeBron hands in the air and scores. LaMelo to spin. Blocked by Bitt. Pat Babb made the defensive play. Defense. Offense. Count it. LeBron James off of the block by Beverly. This is the last team in offensive efficiency in the NBA, but they're going to get a three-point opportunity with Plumlee scoring. LeBron all the way to the rim. Pretty much uncontested that time. He's waiting to see what Plumlee is going to do. Daniels wants to get to the basket. He does. That's what he's used to. Look at Plumlee. A wrestling match with Beverly. And he's going to get another three-point opportunity. Catching it and shooting it. Washington. Well, P.J. can score. He's got 10 20-point games this year. Over to Pat Babb. Downtown. Yes, sir. Pat Babb. His confidence is at an all-time high right now. Drop pass for LeBron. He scores on the drop from Austin. That's a shoot for Austin. He's back. There's P.J. Washington Jr. from the outside. Enters right back with the splash. The workload is probably against another block. The workload for Austin has been really high. Plumlee back and in. Back and in. Here's a hook shot. He scores. And he's going to the line for his third three-point opportunity. Smith Jr. Start, stop, change of pace. And beats Russ to the rim. Got a chance for a break. Here it comes. Out of Rosario. Carey's going to pull up at about 14. Right side. Right-handed for two for Carey Rosario. Smith Jr. One bounce for two. With him. And he hits the three. LeBron a run in the show. Off of one leg. Got it again. LeBron makes it look simple. LeBron Bryant. He's underneath. Scores! Thomas Bryant and LeBron made it happen. All the attention stolen by Austin. Caught up. It goes. It goes! And again, don't repeat that to old form in the third quarter. A quarter that has been a nightmare for you numerous times. LeBron gets an add one. Lakers led this Charlotte team by 16 in the second half. As Hayward hangs in the air and scores. LeBron looking to become the Lakers leader in score this year for the 19th time. LeBron. With two hands is T. Bryant. LeBron. There's a little fallback. Rattles in. Charlotte Hornets had 134 the other game. And tonight they're struggling to score. Wide open is Troy Brown Jr. Makes him pay. Ball comes off the right to the hands of LeBron. Here comes LeBron. Coast to coast on the way to score. LeBron James the king of steal and the score. The mellow rainbow. That was from Schroeder. I'll tell you, this crowd is... That's what they pay for. McDaniels scores. LeBron. Giveth. Now received. Now Giveth again. KTA is going to lose it. And McDaniels throws it down. 78-62. Can't let them crawl back in. And finally the lob and the jam. Change of pace for Austin Reeves. Got hit in the mouth but scored anyway. Rolling now as Reeves gets the pass. Kicked inside out to Troy Brown Jr. Good ball movement by the late show. Troy Brown shooting 35% from downtown. This season, Terry Rozier. Well, maybe not if you look at the clock. Well, LeBron knows. Here he comes. Throws it up. Throws it in. He knew the clock. Schroeder. Baseline. Randy Gabriel cuts down the middle. He gets an and one. Sabiz is in the middle. Bounce to wing it. He's running the floor and lays it in with the left hand. I'd like to see Kendrick get back on a little bit more here. And here he is. Comes off the other side. That's a good move for the left-hander, Kendrick Nunn. Here comes McDaniels. Look at that. Behind the back to Reeves. Corner. Gun. Open. Yes, sir. Perfectly run by the Lakers. Told you he's going to get somebody an open look. A big lead right now. Hold on. And they give up a dunk. A slam to start the quarter. They're looking to attack all the way. The scoop and the score. And the foul by Lamello. Looking to attack. Lamello comes up. Now he's a baseline. Good little move underneath. Leaving some space. And he scores. Lost a couple of defenders. Smith Jr. Working on Schroeder. He's in deep. He puts it up and in. He just overpowered Dennis. And he scores it. LeBron bumps into his man. LeBron won't be denied. He's at it again. Too strong. Too big. Too strong. Schroeder had it for a moment. They lay it off for Rozier. And he hits it from three. Pat Bev stops. Looks. Swing it. Schroeder. Open. Got it. Wide open. He doesn't miss it. Dennis Schroeder. Down the middle. The flying dunk with two hands. On the perfect assist from LeBron. Here come the Hornets. Lamello all the way. Pretty reverse layup for two. Lakers hustling back on defense. Trying to find their position. Here's Lamello going all the way again. Lamello ball. Two buckets in a row. And both at the rim. Underneath. Put up and in reverse dive. Yes, sir! Some fresh snow from the right side. There's a fake. Now down the middle. Rozier open for the defense. And the outstretched arm of Troy Brown. LeBron shifts his way through the defense. Hangs in the air and scores. Shifting his way. Rozier dancing. Nearly lost it. Here he goes. Down the middle. Good play. Count it. And one. Reach foul. They hit him right in the face. Yeah. Rozier down. But he'll be up. Rozier with LeBron on. Fires it up. And in! Doing a pop-dab. Lost doubly. Sealed it right there for the Lakers. Rozier scores. Oh, it's still a two-possession game. Oh, he's got to get in. Five seconds. And finally does. It's underneath. And they score. Rozier for three. And that'll do it for the Tacos. And that's exactly what they're doing. And ball's going to go down and score. And they'll bring it in. And that'll be it. Long lead for Pat Baggin. The game is over. Pull me up in three. Over G.
