LeBron James' 29 Points Not Enough as Lakers Fall to Hornets in High-Scoring Loss

LeBron James contributed 29 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists for the Los Angeles Lakers in their 135-117 loss to the Charlotte Hornets. Despite his efforts and Luka Doncic's 39 points, the Lakers' defense proved costly, allowing the Hornets to hit 20 three-pointers and rally from a 13-point deficit. James did not speak to reporters after the game, which marked the Lakers' fourth loss in five games.
