Lakers escape Charlotte with road win
Looking fatigued playing in the second of back-to-back games on the last contest of a seven-game road swing, the Los Angeles Lakers survived a late-game surge by the Charlotte Hornets to take a 101-93 victory back home to the West Coast.
The Lakers shot just 41.5 percent from the field but made 16 of 44 (36 percent) from the 3-point line to secure the victory.
Los Angeles improved to 34-21 on the year and finished an impressive 4-3 on a seven-game road swing in 12 days without the services of LeBron James (right high-ankle sprain) and Anthony Davis (calf strain).
Kyle Kuzma led the Lakers with 24 points and four rebounds. Dennis Schroder added 19 points and six assists.
