Final: Lakers 139, Pelicans 122
LA improves to 28-26. This was an important win considering the Pelicans (30-22) are ahead of the Lakers in the West standings but still catchable. All five starters had at least 20 points. DLo had 30. Austin had 27.
Up next: vs. DET on Tuesday. – 12:58 AM

AD immediately punished a tiny Pelicans lineup, drawing 2 personal fouls on Herb Jones when Jones tried to box him out, and then scoring over Jones and a helping McCollum to put LAL up 130-117.
Pelicans put Nance, Jr. in at the next stoppage. – 12:46 AM

I know he’s struggling with his shot (and he’s had some bad defensive moments in this one) but Trey Murphy has to be more involved for the Pels.
His presence alone gives them more spacing and it at least gives them one more big wing on the floor. – 12:45 AM

Jaxson Hayes has gotten 15 minutes to Christian Wood’s three, which may not have happened at all without AD’s early foul trouble. Predictable, given a) Hayes has been terrific the last few games, and b) tough to find enough PT for both to be in rhythm. Gotta make a choice. AK – 12:37 AM

Hayes added a layup, and LAL went from up 5 with 2:21 left to up 13 after the 3rd. – 12:25 AM

De’Aaron Fox and the Kings’ pace are a tough draw on a B2B, especially after an intense game like last night vs. Lakers. No Kentavious Caldwell-Pope or Michael Porter Jr. Denver didn’t play well, but that’s about it. Flush this one and move on. Good to see Julian Strawther back. – 12:23 AM

Just a sliver of defensive stops by #Pelicans and they’ve already cut deficit down to 6. Have to provide more resistance at that end and have come up with a couple blocks and forcing Lakers to pass ball back out from under the rim – 12:05 AM

D’Angelo Russell is on an absolute heater to start the 2nd Q, with 14 points, including four – yes, four – 3-pointers in the span of just 3 minutes, to put LAL up 52-47 at the 9:23 mark.
Jaxson Hayes had a put-back for the only non-Russell points amidst a 16-8 run. – 11:18 PM

In his first game after the trade deadline, D’Angelo Russell is cooking. He has 19 points on 6-for-7 shooting and LAL is up 52-47 on the Pelicans. There’s still 9:23 to go in the 2nd Q. – 11:17 PM

At the end of the 1st Q, the Lakers got beat to a loose ball under the rim they needed to grab by Zion, who quickly scored to reach 14 points, trailing only his teammates, Brandon Ingram, who had 16.
LAL got out-boarded 9-3 in the 1st Q. – 11:14 PM

First quarter: Pelicans 39, Lakers 36
Rui Hachimura has 9 points. AD has 8 points. Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell each have 5. LeBron has 4 points and 5 assists. Both teams have already combined for 46 points in the paint — a ridiculously high number for one quarter. – 11:12 PM

Incredible start for BI and Zion. They’ve been super aggressive to start. AD also picked up 3 fouls already. Gonna be a big test for Lakers to defend without him in the paint. – 11:12 PM

Brandon Ingram (13 pts, 5/5 FTs) joining Zion in getting to the foul line in 1Q. He drew a third foul on Anthony Davis, who may end up sitting the rest of the first half as a result. Ingram’s career average vs. Lakers is 24.4 points, the most for him against any #NBA opponent – 11:04 PM

Really like how Zion and BI have started this game on the offensive end. Both are making quick decisions and attacking the basket with the intent to score.
They’ve got a combined 21 points on 6-7 shooting. – 11:02 PM

Three PF’s for Anthony Davis at the 4:10 mark of the 1st Q is a rarity, and will test LAL tonight. They trailed by 1 when he went to the pine. – 11:01 PM
