For the 2nd time in a week the Lakers will face off vs. the Pelicans — this time in New Orleans. The first time LeBron proved to be the best player on the floor, scoring 40 points in a close win where he really was the difference in the outcome. That game also saw Zion and Brandon Ingram do major damage, but that was mostly offset by Anthony Davis’ strong second half and Danny Green’s hot shooting (and Alex Caruso’s defense, hustle, and high IQ plays).
It’s the 2nd game in two nights for the Lakers, though it’s hard to call last night’s effort a “game”.
