From the tip, the Lakers brought a level of intensity against the Pelicans reminiscent of the In-Season Tournament semi-final... It was as dominant of a performance as one could have hoped for and really set a tone for the team heading into the postseason.
Now, they may be set up for a first-round series against the Nuggets... For the now, the Lakers are heading into the play-in games riding a high and with plenty of confidence after beating the Pelicans multiple times in big games this year.
LeBron James, what an impressive display of controlling the game... And he put on a playmaking masterclass in this one, finishing two assists shy of his career-high in dimes... LeBron and Anthony Davis' ability to just switch those 4-5 pick and rolls New Orleans runs completely disrupts that action.
