The Los Angeles Lakers and Charlotte Hornets had an unusual game on Wednesday, facing off after their trade for Mark Williams fell apart.
It was the first game Williams played for Charlotte since he reportedly failed his physical and then had to return to the team that had agreed on a deal that would send him to Los Angeles.
This was a fascinating ad clunky duel that included a surprising ejection after two technical fouls and an ejection for Austin Reaves. The Lakers held their lead for the majority of the game, including a genuinely remarkable dunk on Williams by LeBron James.
