The Los Angeles Lakers have found their groove in recent weeks, now winning five straight games after a 104-99 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night.
Both teams were missing some key pieces due to injury and with it being the second night of a back-to-back on the road, the Lakers were definitely playing with some tired legs. They really struggled on the glass in the first half as a result, allowing the Pelicans to take a 10-point lead into the halftime locker room.
The Lakers locked in defensively in the third quarter though and received some big contributions from Anthony Davis, Dalton Knecht and LeBron James down the stretch to secure the victory.
