Rough start

The Lakers’ heralded ball movement has crawled to a stop and the Lakers have missed eight of their first 12 shots from the field. When the offense is going through Mihm and Turiaf, that’s not a good sign. Meanwhile, the Hornets are controlling the pace and hitting open jumpers. The Hornets have made 7 of 11 shots and lead 18-8 midway through the first quarter.
