For anybody that is still clinging to the hope of obtaining the 8th seed , this game likely has finally put the nail in the coffin of that pipe dream. The Pelicans who were on a three game losing streak coming into tonight, faced off against Western Conference bottom feeders the Los Angeles Lakers. Even missing Anthony Davis the Pelicans with their “talent” should have been able to beat the Lakers. This was not the case, the Pelicans had the lead all game until the 4th quarter but continuously let the Lakers stick around. This is when Lou Williams got hot down the stretch to score 7 points en route to a Laker win, and sending the New Orleans Pelicans season into further state of embarrassment.
