Pau Gasol – 2. Hornets – 0.

Gasol's scoring easily in the opening minutes, up to 11 in his 5 minutes after his 2nd and-1. He has all 11 for LAL, who trail by 2.

Pau Gasol performed a nasty dunk and almost took a nasty fall in the process

Bazemore, who hit 4 triples at Portland, buried one from the corner to get LAL within 10 points late in the 1st Q. LAL's 1st 3 tonight.

Second Quarter
Jordan Farmar's heating up, with a layup and then a triple to reach 7 points with 2 assists in his 6 minutes. Been playing great of late.

There's Henry's first bucket, a triple off Farmar's hand, to cut the NOP lead to 10 midway through the 2nd Q.

Jodie Meeks' drives to the basket 10x better than last year

And with that layup, Kent Bazemore has scored more points in seven games as a Laker this season than in 44 games as a Warrior.

Kent Bazemore was 4 of 5 from 3 last night in Portland … tonight, he's 3 of 4 from 3, towards 15 points to cut NOP's lead to 11.

PAU CONTINUATION GASOL.

Ryan Kelly's been solid in his bench minutes tonight. His block, then drawn charge, then baseline J making it 91-85 NOP.

Fourth Quarter
A big 2-handed jam from Henry (Marshall's 8th assist) preceded the 3rd Ryan Kelly block, then another Henry hoop. LAL within 6.

Momentum just shifted here at Staples, Lakers down by just 4, after being down by as many as 21.

Farmar gets the hoop to go, plus the foul. His FT caps the 3-point play and pulls the Lakers within 120-115, 3:30 left.
— Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) March 5, 2014
There's Farmar again, draining a pull-up 3 in transition to get LAL within 5 with 2 minutes to play. He's up to 20 points, 7 dimes.
