The first half of the Lakers visit to New Orleans did not go as planned, but they were able to accumulate a few highlights in a first half in which they struggled.
Although the Lakers trailed at the end of the first half by a score of 69-57, two of their veteran leaders combined to create an amazing moment. After a rare defensive stop for the Lakers in the first half, Rajon Rondo found a cutting LeBron James for an alley-oop slam dunk.
LeBron led the way for the Lakers with 14 points and six assists in the first half, but the Pelicans racked up nearly 70 points in the first half to dominate the Lakers in a game L.A. desperately needs to get back into the playoffs.
