Coming into Saturday night, many were expecting a somewhat comfortable win for the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers were coming off an impressive victory over the Houston Rockets earlier in the week, and things were looking up. However, what has been the case with the Lakers recently, they disappointed on Saturday.
Without Anthony Davis in the lineup, the Pelicans were able to score 128 points en route to a comfortable win over the Lakers. While the Lakers did shoot the ball well, they didn’t play any defense, and they turned the ball over 23 times.
