Following a matchup at home on Saturday that saw the New Orleans Pelicans send the Los Angeles Lakers packing with a loss, the Pelicans will go for Round 2 against LeBron and his merry band of misfits tonight in Staples Center.
In the most recent matchup between these teams, the Pelicans got petty on Twitter right after the game. Will the Lakers respond on their home court, or will Jrue Holiday’s team keep the joke running that New Orleans has seemingly been playing on Los Angeles since the trade deadline?
For LeBron and the Lakers, it feels like almost every game for the rest of the season is a must-win if they want to make the playoffs.
