New Orleans Pelicans came up short after losing against the home team, Los Angeles Lakers 91-95 at Staples Center, January 12th 2016

Point guard Jordan Clarkson was the star of the night, noting 18 points on his name plus 7 rebounds. Former Raptor Lou Williams, added 19 points and 8 assists for the home team. Lakers' first pick this season from Ohio State, D'Angelo Russell scored 13 points from the bench.

Pelicans, who played without Anthony Davis in this game, had Tyreke Evans as the top scorer with 21 points, Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon added 15 and 14 points.

Lakers' very own Kobe Bryant was on the court only for 16 minutes. He had a problem with his right Achilles, felt sore, and it made him did not return to the game. Bryant apparently had strained his Achilles last Friday during the Lakers-Thunders game.

Lakers, currently at the bottom of Western Conference standings, will play defending champion Golden State Warriors January 14 away from home, and Pelicans will play another away game against Sacramento Kings tomorrow.
