The only caveat to the game is that Lakers barely beat a terrible Hornets team, highlighted by two genuinly lol-worthy defensive plays by NO down the stretch.
1) Kobe brings up the ball and the Hornets pack their defense to the right side of the court, totally ignoring the fact that Jodie Meeks is camped out at the 3 point line on the left hand side of the court. Needless to say that Jodie Meeks gets a wiiiiiiiiiiide open 3 from this play, which he nails.
2) Lakers up 2 and inbounding ball out of a timeout. Hornets for some reason decide to defend the play as though the Lakers bucket was their own, allowing Kobe to just trail away towards the Hornets bucket, off the inbounds pass, and get a transition dunk with no in front of him.
