BROCK WILLIAMS-SMITH/ AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE ANTHONY Davis dominates with a triple-double performance to lead the Los Angeles Lakers to a 124-118 win over the Charlotte Hornets in the NBA regular season.
LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Anthony Davis delivered his third career triple double on Monday to support big nights from LeBron James and D'Angelo Russell as the Los Angeles Lakers won, 124-118, at Charlotte.
Russell scored 28 points, James added 26 and Davis dominated with 26 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists as the Lakers finished a National Basketball Association road trip, 4-2, with the other wins at Boston, New York and Golden State.
"We've been doing a good job at playing complete team basketball," Davis said.
"It was a great road trip for us even though we dropped some we thought we should have won."
"We'll try and take this energy and carry it over from the road trip back home."

The Lakers play host to reigning NBA champion Denver on Thursday.
Struggling since they won the NBA In-Season Tournament in December, the Lakers have built confidence on the road trip, coach Darvin Ham said.
"Just that trust in ourselves. If adversity presents itself, we can fight through it," he said.
"We won't pack up our tent and go home. We're in it for the fight."
They got a fight from the Hornets, who were led by 41 points from Miles Bridges and 33 by Brandon Miller.
"Bridges played out of his mind shooting the ball. Miller did as well," Davis said.
"Our defensive intensity slipped in that fourth quarter. We lost control of the game."
"We've got to do a better job of closing out games but nonetheless we're happy we got the win. It was ugly but we're happy we got it."
