Lakers Steamroll Pelicans in New Orleans

*Stats from NBA.com and Yahoo! Sports*

Someone should change the New Orleans Pelicans' 2016-17 team photo to just a picture of Anthony Davis. I don't know if there's ever Co-Sixth Man of the Year Award winners in the NBA, especially on one team because JC and Sweet Lou are absolutely killing it on the bench. Jordan Clarkson lead all scorers, coming off the bench with 23 points on 8-12 shooting as the Lakers dominate the Pelicans 126-99 to go 2-0 on this recent road trip. I told you guys, they'll eventually learn to find ways to win on the road. Lou Williams followed suit with 21 points, consistent as usual and Brandon Ingram contributed an additional 10 points for the bench. Onto the starters, D'Angelo Russell lead the team with 22 points to go with 6 assists, Nick Young stays hot with 15 points, and Julius Randle nearly records a triple-double with 8 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists to go with a pair of steals and blocks.

Final Score: @ New Orleans 126-99 [W]
