Takeaways
- Well, after this humiliating loss, the Pelicans have to play the Lakers in the first round of the Play-In tournament.
- The Pelicans finished the season with 49 wins, and you don't do that with a bad team or coach so remember that.
- New Orleans did not have an answer for Anthony Davis or LeBron James.
- Jonas Valanciunas played seven minutes.
- Brandon Ingram had not played since March 21, but he started this game.
- Here's what's ahead for the Pelicans:
The Pelicans play at HOME on Tuesday at 6:30 pm against the Lakers.
If they win, they are in the Playoffs at the #7 seed and will play their next game on April 20.
If they lose, they will play at HOME on Friday against either the Golden State Warriors or the Sacramento Kings.
