Williams leads Lakers past Pelicans 95-91 to end 4-game skid

LOS ANGELES — Anthony Davis didn't suit up for New Orleans, and Kobe Bryant couldn't make it through the first half.

With the game's two biggest stars sidelined by injuries, the Los Angeles Lakers' young lineup capitalized for a promising win.

Lou Williams scored nine of his 19 points in the fourth quarter, and the Lakers rallied late to snap their four-game losing streak with a 95-91 victory over the Pelicans on Tuesday night.

After Julius Randle hit a go-ahead finger roll with 43 seconds left, Williams added a clutch running jumper with 18 seconds to play.
