The last time the New Orleans Pelicans faced off against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Pelicans took Los Angeles down to the wire.
New Orleans held a one-point lead with less than two minutes remaining before falling 114-110 in what would turn out to be the third consecutive loss in the Pelicans’ 13-game losing streak.
Now the Pelicans prepare to face the Lakers in Los Angeles as winners of four in a row and five of their last six. In fact, New Orleans is tied with five other teams for the best record in the NBA in that stretch (Boston, Miami, Milwaukee, Oklahoma City, and Utah).
