The Los Angeles Lakers picked up a gutsy, if not sloppy, win on Tuesday night. They defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 95-91, but displayed many of the same offensive problems that have plagued them throughout the season.
While they were able to manage an impressive comeback win, the Lakers continued their struggles in the first half, scoring just 38 points by halftime of Tuesday’s contest after managing a paltry 30 points against Utah on Sunday. While the Lakers are certainly improving, their issues on offense continue to limit the potential of the team’s young core, especially Julius Randle‘s.
