The Lakers have been up and down all season and they are just 6-4 in their last 10 games. They have had stretches this season where they have looked like the best team in the league. They have also gone through other stretches where they simply look like a team that has a lot of weaknesses. The Lakers need to find their stride as their go through the second half of the season if they hope to make a run through the playoffs.
The Hornets had been on a roll, but they have now lost two games in a row and may be on their way back down. This game against the Lakers will be a big game for the Hornets. The Hornets have one of the best defenses in the league, and their defense will be tested against the Lakers. The Lakers have scoring on the perimeter and on the inside and they will be difficult to contain.
The Lakers will need to contain Chris Paul in this game. He is not their leading scorer, but he makes everything happen on offense. If the Lakers can keep him from dictating the pace of the game they will have a good chance at putting the Hornets away.
This game should have a playoff atmosphere as these teams are two of the league’s best.
