The Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans are putting on a show in the semifinal round of the in-season tournament in Las Vegas.
In the first semifinal, the Indiana Pacers upset the Milwaukee Bucks to move on to the championship. The winner of the Lakers-Pelicans contest will face Indiana there.
