Field Level Media

P.J. Washington scored 24 points and LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier added 23 apiece as the visiting Charlotte Hornets shot a season-best 55.3 percent from the field and held on for a 134-130 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday.

Kelly Oubre Jr. contributed 19 points for the Hornets, who won for just the second time in their past 11 games, with both wins coming in the first four games of the current six-game road trip.

LeBron James scored 34 points and Austin Reaves put up 20 as the Lakers lost their third consecutive game and fell to 1-3 since star forward Anthony Davis sustained a right foot injury.
