The Lakers performed one of their season’s greatest offensive orchestras, and Rajon Rondo — one of the top passers of his generation — was conducting from the center of it.
The 13-year veteran dished out 17 assists — which hasn’t been topped by any Laker over the last 21 years — and even made time to enjoy some popcorn with a fan, while L.A. squashed the playoff-chasing Charlotte Hornets, 129-115.
“You know Rondo,” LeBron James said, “his energy, him just having fun and being the leader. He is just infectious.”

With Rondo — who also had five steals — at the reins, the Lakers shot 56.
