Lakers fall in double overtime to Hornets for second straight Las Vegas loss

A JT Thor 3-pointer on the second play of double overtime gave the Hornets a sudden-death victory over the Lakers on Sunday, 89-86.

In an apparent homage to the actual Lakers of last season, the Summer League Lakers blew multiple leads on the night as they fell to 0-2 in Las Vegas.

Mason Jones’ go-ahead 3-pointer with 15.4 seconds left in the first overtime and Cole Swider’s two free throws with 8.5 seconds left looked to have sealed the deal for the Lakers but a foul from Nate Pierre-Louis on a Ty-Shon Alexander 3-pointer with 4.3 seconds left allowed the Hornets to tie the game.
