The Pelicans ended their season with a whimper on Sunday against the Lakers, dropping their fourth straight game to close the regular season, 110-98.
While the Pelicans did well to keep the score respectable throughout, the Lakers led wire-to-wire on the night with the lead peaking at 15 points.
With their playoff fate still up in the air, the Lakers fielded a full-strength lineup featuring LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Dennis Schröder, three players that have missed time in the second half of the season. That trio combined for 52 points despite only Davis playing 30 minutes on the night.
Willy Hernangomez had 19 points, Naji Marshall added 18 and Nickeil Alexander-Walker had 14.
