The Los Angeles Lakers will host the Charlotte Hornets tonight at Staples Center, in LA. The Lakers are coming off a loss over the Phoenix Suns earlier in the week.
Here is what ESPN.com had to say about the game:
“Kobe Bryant took over the Los Angeles Lakers‘ offense and tried to take over the game, digging back into his famed history and carrying his undermanned team to the brink of its first victory.
The Phoenix Suns answered with all the balance and big shots that Kobe and the Lakers lacked.
Gerald Green scored 26 points off the bench, Markieff Morris had 23 points and 10 rebounds, and the Suns overcame Bryant’s 39-point performance to keep the Lakers winless with a 112-106 victory Tuesday night.”

Kobe Bryant told the media this when asked about the game outcome:
“”I was just being aggressive,” Bryant said. “I played with a lot of energy today. It’s easy to look at it and say 37 shots, but you don’t see how hard I was working to get easy opportunities, offensive rebounds and transition shots. Some of the easy ones I missed, but if you play with a lot of energy and are relentless, you’ll get a lot of opportunities.”
Just get a damn win,” Bryant said. “You can’t listen to what everybody says. You can’t listen to people. You’ve got to be stubborn as a mule. You’ve got to keep chipping away. Got to keep competing and going after it, and this thing will turn around. Just as easily as we lost five in a row, we can turn around and win five in a row.”
With the Charlotte Hornets in town, the Lakers will face a new set of challenges:
“Everybody’s on the same page, and we’re ready to ball out,” said Stephenson, who has hauled in 13 rebounds in two straight games. “We’ve got to continue to improve.”
Jefferson, who has 62 points and 19 rebounds in two games, matched a career high with 40 and also pulled down 18 boards as Charlotte snapped a five-game skid against the Lakers with a 110-100 road win Jan. 31.
