CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ There is plenty wrong with the Charlotte Hornets right now, and it starts with their star's shooting.
All-Star point guard Kemba Walker shot 2 for 13 from the field and 0 for 5 from 3-point range before taking a seat for the night in the Hornets' 128-100 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. That following a fourth quarter and overtime in Friday's loss to the New York Knicks in which Walker shot 1 for 10 from the field and 0 for 5 from 3-point range.
Meanwhile, LeBron James, who signed with the Lakers over the summer, had his second triple-double this season with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. James' teammate, point guard Lonzo Ball, also assembled a triple-double, with 16 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds.
This was only the second time in Lakers history two players had triple-doubles in the same game: The prior one was in 1982 by Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
The Hornets dropped their second in a row to fall to 14-15 on the season. They had won a season-best three in a row prior to Friday's loss to the Knicks.
Walker, ninth in the NBA in scoring at 25.6 points per game, finished with a season-low four Saturday. Hornets rookie Miles Bridges had his best scoring game this season with 17 points. Malik Monk scored 19 and added five rebounds.
