The Los Angeles Lakers will begin their quest for a third consecutive title on Sunday when their 2011 NBA Playoffs series against the New Orleans Hornets tips off at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The Lakers were challenged in the first round a year ago, with the Oklahoma City Thunder nearly taking L.A. to a Game 7. Whether the Hornets, who lost David West to injury late in the season and have been swooning a bit, can make the Lakers sweat is left to be seen.
