CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Anthony Davis and the Lakers might be starting to find their rhythm — just as the uncertainty of the NBA trade deadline approaches. Davis had 26 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists for his third career triple-double and Los Angeles held on to defeat the short-handed Charlotte Hornets 124-118 on Monday night for their third straight win. “When we put our minds to it, we can beat any team in this league,” Davis said. Davis was simply too much to contain for a Hornets team severely lacking height with center Mark Williams still out with a back injury. “He’s seen just about everything," Lakers coach Darvin Ham said of the double teams Davis has faced and beaten.

Steph Curry scored 29 points for a Warriors team who did not come close to threatening the Kings.
