The Lakers beat the Hornets
We lost by 7 in a game we shot 5-17 from three - and a lot of those shots were not contested. Seriously, the Hornet's starting Small Forward and Shooting guard combine for 10 points on 3-18 shooting, 2-10 from deep, and only two free throws - yet the Hornets only lost by 7. I'd love to say that ...
