Charlotte is heading into the game here to face the Lakers with a 1-1 record. The downside is the Timberwolves really crushed the hopes of the Hornets offense as the Hornets were simply way laid by a defense that did not stop in the game. The Hornets only managed to get 99 points, but showed that the Timberwolves have one of the more prolific offenses in the NBA this year by giving up 121 points.
The Hornets leading scorer in the game was Devonte Graham who put in 24 points from his guard position. PJ Washington found himself in the right position 10 times for a rebound in the game. However, one of the more impressive players in the game was the play of guard Terry Rozier who managed to get a total of 10 assist in the game.

The Lakers were able to even up their record after playing on Friday night. However, the Lakers almost allowed the Jazz to climb back into the game with a horrible 4th quarter in the game. The Lakers managed to outlast the Jazz, though, and that was a major problem for the Lakers and showed that their defense is susceptible to being exposed as a weakness on the year.
LeBron James managed to score a total of 32 points in the win. James led the Lakers in rebounding as well with a total of 7 boards, but only managed to get 2 boards on the offensive glass. James ended up being a one man show for the Lakers with 10 assist as well.

The Lakers defense is having some issues defensively. However, the Lakers are a strong team that has been able to rely quite heavily on James and added in some talent to help James this year. The Hornets do not have a true star on their roster and that will cost the Hornets in this game here, even as the Lakers defense starts to fade as the game wears on. Final Score, Los Angeles Lakers win 101-95 but do not cover.
