Despite playing a New Orleans Pelicans team that was without Anthony Davis, the Lakers were run off the court to the point that LeBron James actually questioned his commitment to basketball after the game. Pelicans guard Jrue Holidy went off for 27 points, while former Laker Julius Randle did plenty of damage with 24 points. The loss pushed the 29-30 Lakers down to 3.5 games behind the Los Angeles Clippers for the eighth-best record in the Western Conference.
