The Lakers lost again Friday night, this time to the Pelicans by a score 114–111. With it, Los Angeles sits one game back of the Spurs for the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference, while New Orleans currently holds the No. 9 seed.
However, the game itself got a little testy. Pelicans forward Jaxson Hayes picked up a flagrant foul for shoving LeBron James on a fastbreak.
While Hayes was penalized for the move, he was upset that James elbowed him in the ribs earlier in the game.
After Hayes retaliated towards James, Anthony Davis got involved as well.
