The Los Angeles Lakers looked to keep things rolling on Saturday night, going for their fifth straight win in a road contest against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Both teams were running on fumes with key players out and in the second night of a back-to-back, but ultimately the Lakers were able to come out on top with a 104-99 win to improve their record to 9-4.
Anthony Davis loves being back in New Orleans and that was the case early in this one as he scored the Lakers’ first seven points. The Pelicans were playing with confidence early though and took an 18-9 lead after a triple and midrange bucket by Brandon Ingram.
