What's up everybody? Welcome into the Lakers Nation postgame show. My name is Jeff Spiegel, filling in for Trevor Lane tonight, joined by my friend Anthony Wittrato.

Normally over on the Dodger Blue 1958 page, but we are here talking Lakers. And Anthony, it was a good one for the Lakers tonight.

It didn't start out super pretty. And after a disappointing loss to the

Hawks, they bounced back with a big win over the Charlotte Hornets. It looked brutal,

quite honestly. Most of the first quarter and most of the first half, I think the Lakers

were kind of a little bit lucky to kind of go up to halft kind of go into halftime with the lead on that

Austin bucket. But yeah, they were giving up straight line drives. They were nobody in the passing

lanes. Late, late rotations and wide open jumpers for the Hornets. Kind of a weird one,

a weird start to this, but they got to go in in the second half.

Absolutely. Our guy Trevor Lane, by the way, is going to be hosting an alternate stream

of the Clippers Hawks for NBA League Pass. So if you've got an NBA app and you have NBA League

Pass, you can go see an alternate stream with Trevor in about an hour. He'll be on that Hawks Clippers. I told Trevor,

you got to watch. I love you enough, Trevor, that I might tune into a Clippers game just because you

and Keith Smith are on the takeover there. Again, we are filling in for Trevor Lane. We apologize

for those that are Trevor Lane fans that are not seeing their guy. I get it. I get it. But we're here

to talk Lakers.

121, 111 is the final score, Anthony, in this one.

Some good defensive moments for the Lakers in the middle two quarters,

23 and 15 points for Charlotte in the second and third.

Just 38 points total.

On the flip side, they allow 40 points to the Hornets in the first

quarter. They allow 33 points in the second quarter. And they were up by 19 at one point in this
