Lakers vs. Hornets Game Preview: Lakers stumble into Charlotte in back-to-back

The Lakers make their lone trip to Charlotte, still recovering from wounds left behind from the Grizzlies.

The Los Angeles Lakers endured a wire-to-wire beatdown in Memphis but have to get up for a game against the Charlotte Hornets in the second half of a back-to-back. One of the worst offenses in the NBA went off against the league's worst defense Sunday, tacking on another deflating loss in a disappointing season.

The Hornets, coincidentally, beat the Grizzlies in their last game out. Charlotte's in position to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference after missing the postseason last year.
