For a time on the Lakers' road trip that ended Monday with a 124-118 win in that same building, the Lakers were doing none of the three. Blowout losses to Houston and Atlanta completely erased any of the momentum built after their two-overtime win against Stephen Curry and the Warriors. Miles Bridges and Brandon Miller, two of the only healthy Hornets usually in their best lineups, exploded for 74 combined points. Only when Davis blocked a three-pointer from Bridges could the Lakers exhale, their 4-2 road trip secured. He was a plus-30 in 41 minutes against Golden State in the first game of the six-game road trip, which ended in Charlotte.
