From a distance, Lakers let Hornets close it out

RONALDO BOLANOS Los Angeles Times THE HORNETS' LaMelo Ball, left, drives against the Lakers' Marcus Smart.

In a back-and-forth high-scoring affair Thursday night, the Lakers led by 13 points in the second quarter before the Charlotte Hornets rallied to build a 15-point lead in the third quarter.

In the end, the Hornets kept the momentum they stole from the Lakers, rolling to a 135-117 win at Crypto.com Arena.

The Lakers' defense couldn't slow down LaMelo Ball in the second half and it was unable to stop the Hornets from making 20 three-pointers.

As a result, the Lakers (24-15) lost for the fourth time in five games.
