The seventh-seeded Hornets committed only three  turnovers, tying an NBA playoff record, and topped 100 points in a  playoff game for the first time in their last 18 postseason road games.<\/p>\n<p>Kobe Bryant led the Lakers with 34 points, but received little support  from LA&#8217;s two 7-footers, Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum, who combined for  just 21 points. Besides Bryant, only Ron Artest (16 pts, 11 rebs)  produced much offensively for the Lakers. The last lead LA enjoyed came  at 3:24 of the first quarter. They did pull to within one point on three  occasions in the second half but could never pull even.<\/p>\n<p>The series resumes Wednesday night, also at the Staples Center.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/game-one.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1915\" title=\"game one\" src=\"http:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/game-one-300x227.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/game-one-300x227.jpg 300w, https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/game-one-342x259.jpg 342w, https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/game-one-60x45.jpg 60w, https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/game-one-150x113.jpg 150w, https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/game-one.jpg 594w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Game 1 of an opening round Western Conference NBA playoff game, Chris Paul poured in 33 points as well as dishing out 14 assists, grabbing 7 rebounds and collecting 4 steals to lead the&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1915,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,16],"tags":[1057,1021,1059,1060,1056,888,1058],"class_list":["post-1914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured-news","category-sports-recreation","tag-andrew-bynum","tag-chris-paul","tag-game-1","tag-hornets-win","tag-kobe-bryant","tag-nba","tag-pau-gasol"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1914"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1916,"href":"https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1914\/revisions\/1916"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1915"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/associatednews.info\/content\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
