In the moment it seemed like Lakers were getting ready to steal the game.
The camera would cut away to show Michael Jordan angry at Russell Westbrook for making back to back threes and almost bringing Lakers back. Jordan had a look of shock and disgust on his face that Hornets almost lost the game to a Westbrook three point barrage. After Hornets won the game by 3 points the camera showed Michael Jordan angrily leaving his booth. Russell Westbrook really might have ruined his day even with the win.
Lebron James missed the game due to knee soreness, and Anthony Davis is still day to day as he recovers from his MCL injury. However, Frank Vogel is confident they will both play in Lakers next game against the Hawks.
