Charlotte Hornets Edge Out Los Angeles Lakers in Thrilling 100-97 Victory
The Charlotte Hornets secured a hard-fought 100-97 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on February 19, 2025, in a game rescheduled from January due to wildfires. The Hornets overcame a 13-point deficit, fueled by standout performances from LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges, while LeBron James missed crucial shots late in the game.
LaMelo Ball led the Hornets with 27 points, 5 rebounds, and 6 assists, including key baskets in the final minutes. Miles Bridges contributed 29 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 steals, while Nick Smith Jr. added 12 points, including a critical three-pointer. Mark Williams, playing his first game since a trade was rescinded, posted 10 points and 9 rebounds.
For the Lakers, LeBron James tallied 26 points, 7 rebounds, and 11 assists but missed two potential game-tying three-pointers in the closing seconds. Luka Dončić added 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists, while Rui Hachimura chipped in 17 points and 8 rebounds. Despite a strong fourth-quarter push, the Lakers fell short.
The Hornets dominated the third quarter with a 17-1 run, turning a 48-37 halftime deficit into a 69-66 lead. Ball’s back-to-back threes early in the fourth extended the lead, but the Lakers briefly regained control before Charlotte’s clutch plays sealed the win. The victory marked a strong start to the Hornets’ post-All-Star break schedule, while the Lakers missed an opportunity to climb in the Western Conference standings.
