Lakers star LeBron James shoots over New Orleans Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr., left, during the second half of their play-in tournament game on Tuesday night in New Orleans. James had 23 points, nine assists and nine rebounds, and the Lakers secured the No. 7 seed with a 110-106 victory. NEW ORLEANS — After their “Game 1” victory on Sunday, the Lakers expected a more aggressive and physical version of the New Orleans in Tuesday’s play-in tournament matchup.
But Davis made all four of his free throws in the final 15 seconds to prevent the Pelicans from making the comeback. But Williamson went to the locker room for an undisclosed reason for the final three minutes, throwing a towel to the floor in disgust as he walked into the tunnel with an apparent injury.
