With only 5 games left in the regular season the Lakers looked to get their 41 win against the Hornets at Staples Center.

1st Quarter

Earl with an assist off a great drive & dump off to Dwight.

— Darius Soriano (@forumbluegold) April 10, 2013

A broken play results in an and-1 layup from Gasol, off a nice look from Howard. Gasol missed the FT, so LAL down 15-13 early.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) April 10, 2013

MWP seems to be moving just fine; he missed a transition layup, but Bryant put it back with a dunk, his first points.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) April 10, 2013

Amazing pass from Kobe to Howard on the fastbreak for the shot and foul. Perfect touch from Kobe to float that one in there.

LAL up 27-22 after a Meeks transition layup off a steal, capping a 12-3 run to close the 1st quarter.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) April 10, 2013

Lakers grab a 27-22 lead after the 1st qtr. @dwighthoward leads the way w/ 9p, 3r & 2a. STATS: on.nba.com/14adcag

2nd Quarter

OH HELLO. Pau w/ a great pass to Dwight for the stuff. YOU CAN HAVE THE PACIfIC DiVISioN cLIPPERzzz We”RE LOBBBB CITyZZ

— Lakers Nation (@LakersNation) April 10, 2013

Big triple from Meeks and LAL has their biggest lead of the game, 39-33. Important to keep pushing forward. No relenting.

— Lakers Nation (@LakersNation) April 10, 2013

Up 10 moments ago, LAL are now down 2, a 12-0 Hornets run amidst a series of missed LAL jump shots. LAL shooting 41.5%.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) April 10, 2013

The Lakers trail 50-45 at the half. The boobirds are out. L.A. led by as many as 10, but a 14-0 Hornets run in the 2nd wiped that out

— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) April 10, 2013

3rd Quarter

Kobe has shifted over to Eric Gordon on D. Meanwhile, his 4th assist got Blake a long 2-point J, as LAL trail 51-47.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) April 10, 2013

Great cut by the Spaniard.

— Darius Soriano (@forumbluegold) April 10, 2013

Anthony Davis is absolutely battling against Gasol – impressive fight – though Pau has the experience and size

— Eric Pincus (@EricPincus) April 10, 2013

Pau Gasol is dominating everything right now. Just running the show. Great stuff.

— Lakers Nation (@LakersNation) April 10, 2013

Nice floor game from @steveblake5 so far. He has 6 assists to 1 turnover, plus 4 boards, 7 points and 1 block.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) April 10, 2013

Kobe his just his 2nd FG of the game, a triple, to back up Jamison’s corner 3 moments before. LAL up 70-68.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) April 10, 2013

End of the 3rd with the Lakers/Hornets tied up 70-70. There are 12 minutes left for the Lakers to keep their season alive. Buckle up.

— Lakers Nation (@LakersNation) April 10, 2013

4th Quarter

Of course the heat check came … Kobe drained it. Three straight J’s all go home. Hornets T.O., LAL up 7 amidst “KOBE!” chants.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) April 10, 2013

After treading water on O for 3 quarters, Kobe is in total attack mode. He’s taken 5 FG’s in 3+ minutes, with 1 of 2 FT’s. LAL up 80-76.

— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) April 10, 2013

That’s 14pts for @kobebryant in the 4th (all of the Lakers pts thus far in the qtr). Still locked up 84 with 5:46 to play. #GoLakers

— Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) April 10, 2013

Pau fell but kept his dribble alive – hit a cutting Jamison – Lakers up by 5 4:20 left – tight game

— Eric Pincus (@EricPincus) April 10, 2013

Kobe gets the fast break And-1 to fall after stealing the ball from a falling Gordon. He’s got 19 in the 4th after making the FT. 94-86 LA.

— Los Angeles Lakers (@Lakers) April 10, 2013

Kobe to Dwight for the slam!

Kobe Bryant (30 Pts) pushes Lakers to crucial 104-96 win over Hornets. LA leads Utah by ½ game for final playoff spot in West.
