Eventually we will stop measuring the various happenings in this Lakers season by comparisons to the past two. That time is not now.
Here are five takeaways from the Lakers 126-99 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
1.) Despite their 1-9 record, the Pelicans haven’t been the easiest out. They’ve played two overtime games and before Saturday night had never lost by 20 points or more. In fact, the only team that had beat the Pelicans by more than 10 points was San Antonio, which won 98-79. That Anthony Davis left the game for five minutes certainly was a big part of this.
