The Lakers lost again Friday night, this time to the Pelicans by a score 114–111. With it, Los Angeles sits one game back of the Spurs for the No. 10 seed in the Western Conference, while New Orleans currently holds the No. 9 seed.
However, the game itself got a little testy. Pelicans forward Jaxson Hayes picked up a flagrant foul for shoving LeBron James on a fastbreak.
While Hayes was penalized for the move, he was upset that James elbowed him in the ribs earlier in the game.
