LeBron James finishes with 34 points but loses his shoe and falls on the Lakers' possession in the closing seconds of a loss to the Hornets.
But even with James producing 34 points and eight rebounds, it wasn’t enough to stop the Lakers from losing their third straight game.They had one last chance to win after James was called for goaltending a shot Gordon Hayward made by getting an offensive rebound with six seconds left to give the Hornets a 132-130 lead.

Just you want to be out there and be able to win the game that’s right there for you.” Injured Lakers forward Anthony Davis, right, looks over plays on a tablet with LeBron James during Friday’s loss to the Hornets.
