Charlotte Hornets hit the road to the West as they take on Los Angeles Lakers in NBA at Staples Center. Both the teams have one win apiece from their first two games.
Lakers showed that the expectation surrounding them this season is not hype as they put Utah Jazz below average in the last game. It was a collective defensive performance from the Showtime who took full advantage of their height, always maintaining a tight perimeter, and eventually forcing the Jazz to take the shots from beyond the arc.
Lebron James had a double-double as he dropped 32 points and had 11 assists in the match, while Anthony Davis 21 points and registered 7 rebounds as well.
Charlotte Hornets, who started the season with a 126-125 win at home, came crashing down to earth following their 99-121 win on the road against Minnesota Timberwolves.
