It was right not to underestimate the Hornets. Glenn Rice, one of the top shooters in the league today, scored 15 points in the eight minutes from the end of the third quarter to the beginning of the fourth quarter, helping the Hornets take a 4-point lead at one point.
But the Lakers, who were focused throughout, ultimately came back to retake the lead.
At 11:02 in the fourth quarter, with the Lakers leading 112 to 109 by 3 points, Zhang Hao came out to receive the ball at the top arc and hit a three-pointer, widening the gap to 6 points and effectively securing the victory.
In the end, the Lakers narrowly won against the Hornets 115 to 111!
This game didn't have much attention, but quite a few reporters still showed up.
Of course, they came because of the Lakers.
However, one reporter whimsically went to interview a Hornets player—Michael Adams.
