0:26.4	You're home for everything.
0:27.7	Lakers, if you're watching me over on YouTube, to me, it looks like I went a little bit blurry
0:31.6	right as we went live here.
0:33.4	It's okay.
0:33.8	I can fix that in just a second.
0:35.2	But, oh, my goodness, the Lakers just took on the Charlotte Hornets, a very short-handed Lakers team, almost, almost walked away with the win.
