Anthony Davis completely posterized Nick Richards – his second aggressive dunk of the game – and gets called for a technical foul for preening too much afterwards, I guess? – 11:31 PM

Max Christie, who hadn’t played rotation minutes since the second Spurs game on Dec. 15, had an impressive first-half stint knocking down a corner 3 and blocking two shots. The Lakers were +7 in his eight minutes (a team-best mark so far). – 11:19 PM

Lakers started Hachimura for Reddish, and that group was outscored 15-13 into the first time out.
Reaves and Russell then replaced Hachimura and Vanderbilt, bringing on the same group that started earlier this year and struggled some net rating wise, and Charlotte went up 20-13. – 10:56 PM

Austin Reaves is averaging 29.4 MPG and has played between 27-28 minutes in the last few games.
With Cam Reddish out, Darvin Ham said Austin will “get a boatload of minutes” vs. Charlotte. Added that Austin’s one of the guys they’re trying to see if they can get more minutes. pic.twitter.com/MHgJpJ3DMa – 10:31 PM
