Five Lakers Score 20+ Points in 139-122 Win over Pelicans... With Spencer Dinwiddie at the Game!

The last 24 hours have been consumed by questions about whether the Lakers effectively gave up on the season by standing pat at the trade deadline. Well, in their first game following the deadline, the Lakers didn't look like a team that had packed it in. They put on an impressive offensive display and controlled their game against the visiting New Orleans Pelicans throughout and won TK-TK. Balance among the starters was the big story. All of them had more than 20 points, led by D'Angelo Russell with 30. (Rui Hachimura bounced back from a terrible game on Thursday, scoring 21 points on 9-13 from the floor.) Critically, the Lakers didn't turn the ball over - only seven on the night, including just one in the first half. The news wasn't all great, as Max Christie missed the game with an ankle injury suffered in the loss to Denver Thursday, and the team is waiting for results from an MRI. Ultimately, though, it was a very positive night. The Lakers get a win heading into a three-day break before their next game (Tuesday vs. Detroit) and gain a game on New Orleans in the Western Conference standings.
