The Los Angeles Lakers had chances to take control of this series and go up 3-1 on the Hornets. However the Hornets got a monster game from Chris Paul and improved their defensive effort in Game 4. They have effectively put the pressure right back on the defending champs. The Hornets defeated the Lakers 93-88 to even up this series at 2-2.
