Lakers Vs. Hornets Preview: L.A. Has Chance To End Road Trip Above .500

The Los Angeles Lakers have the opportunity to end their road trip with a winning record while also correcting one of their worst losses of the season when they head to Charlotte to take on the Hornets.

Just over a week ago, the Lakers dropped a home game to the Hornets 134-130 in one of the more disappointing performances of the year. It was also one that followed a familiar formula with the Lakers putting forth an awful effort in the third quarter and a late comeback in the fourth coming up just short.

The team does have a bit more momentum coming into this contest following LeBron James’ unbelievable 47-point, 10-rebound and 9-assist performance on his 38th birthday Friday night against the Atlanta Hawks.
