While the Los Angeles Lakers playoff hopes have been dashed for a while now, they did what they could to ensure that the Charlotte Hornets suffer the same fate.
LeBron James made his return from the court after sitting out of their last game to rest against the Utah Jazz and had some trouble taking care of the ball early on as he committed five of the team’s six turnovers in the first half. Fortunately, he was finally able to find his rhythm on offense and ultimately finished with a game-high 27 points, while tacking on nine assists and three rebounds in 32 minutes.
