What is going on? Lakers Nation. The Lakers get a big time win over the New Orleans Pelicans.

They win their fifth straight game and to break things all down.

I'm Luke Rosano filling in for Trevor Lane, who right now is getting some good clips in the postgame.

He's in New Orleans as we speak. And I'm joined by Orion as we just witnessed one hell of a game.

A game too close for comfort against the team that the Lakers were favored by

seven and a half against.

But nonetheless, a win is a win.

The Lakers get it done on the second end of a back to back.

Well, the refs didn't determine this one, did they?

There was no reps determining anything.

It was some clutch play from the Lakers.

Dalton Connect, career high, 27.

He was absolutely phenomenal.

But then, of course, LeBron James as well, back to back clutch threes.

We even got a little silencer from him, haven't seen that in a while as the Lakers.

I mean, this was just in, you know, they turn it up, right?

Ryan, you call this a trap game, which really stood out to me when you said this before

the game started and it looked like it was going to be a trap game, played really lifeless, didn't have the effort,

you know, trailing in that first half, but then that second half, completely different story as

they got big play from the rook. And obviously, LeBron stepped up when he needed to.

It's kind of crazy when you think about it.

Like, yeah, came into this game thinking it was going to be a trap game.
