The Los Angeles Lakers played spoiler with a 129-115 win over the playoff hopeful Charlotte Hornets Friday at Staples Center.
It was a balanced scoring effort for the Lakers on Friday with four players ending the night in double figures, but it was Kentavious Caldwell-Pope that led the way for Los Angeles. In 29 minutes, KCP scored 25 points on 8-14 shooting from the field, including 6-10 shooting from behind the 3-point line. He also contributed four assists and a steal.
Caldwell-Pope has been an inconsistent shooter for most of the season, but he’s been on fire as of late.
