There was elevated energy in the arena tonight before the Lakers even took the floor. And when Anthony Davis’ (23 pts, 12 reb, 6 ast) name was announced, after not being in the starting lineup for about a month and a half, the crowd erupted. But the team couldn’t source a win for the home crowd in this close game against the Pelicans where they fell 114-110.
The last time the Lakers played the Pelicans, the team relinquished a 23-point lead. The loss was troublesome for a variety of reasons, one being that the Pelicans were competing with the Lake Show for a spot in the Play-in tournament.
