The Los Angeles Lakers have been less than stellar since the All-Star break and trade of Lou Williams, as they have suffered two double-digit losses to the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs.
They looked to get back in the win column Tuesday night, as they hosted the Charlotte Hornets. Charlotte also came into the game struggling, as they were losers of six of their last seven.
After agreeing to buyout Jose Calderon, the Lakers gave a 10-day contract to David Nwaba of the Los Angeles D-Fenders to fill their open roster spot. The guard made his Lakers debut against Charlotte.
