Lakers barely survive late collapse to beat Hornets

Anthony Davis rebounded from a rough shooting start to finish with 32 points, Carmelo Anthony with 29 points off the bench, but the Lakers blew a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter bu needed overtime to beat the Charlotte Hornets, 126-123.

After subbing in for a struggling Russell Westbrook with the Lakers down seven midway through the third period, Rajon Rondo came in and helped power a 24-10 run to close the quarter, as Davis finally got into a rhythm and Anthony sunk two of his seven threes on the night. The Lakers got an added boost at the end of the quarter when Melo nearly lost his balance on the inbounds play but somehow got the ball to Malik Monk, who drained a 41-foot buzzer-beater from halfcourt against his old team.
