Anthony Davis scored 26 points with 10 rebounds for the Lakers after missing Wednesday's defeat to the Houston Rockets because of load management. Austin Reaves scored 16 points and Dennis Schroder added 15 as Los Angeles played its 10th consecutive game without LeBron James (foot).

Terry Rozier's 14 points, P.J. Washington's 12 points and Kelly Oubre Jr.'s 11 points led Charlotte. The Hornets -- who lost their fourth game in a row and are in danger of going winless on a five-game homestand that wraps up Monday night -- also got 10 points from reserve Kai Jones.

Hawks 127, Warriors 119

Trae Young scored 25 points and made a key defensive play in the final minute to help host Atlanta defeat Golden State.
