The Charlotte Hornets overcome LeBron James’s comeback and hold off the Los Angeles Lakers 134-130 on Friday night. Austin Reaves scored 20 points and Russell Westbrook had 17 for Los Angeles.
“It’s hard when you lose someone like AD,” Reaves said, via ESPN. “He’s the centerpiece of what we do defensively. Since he went out, the defensive rating hasn’t been great. It’s just too many points. You’re not going to win many games like that.”
