Short-handed Lakers fall to Pelicans, lose third straight game

How do you stop Zion Williamson? Can you contain Brandon Ingram? Do you have the size to fight with Steven Adams? The Lakers had none of those answers Tuesday, and for a night, that’s fine. But take a step back after the Lakers’ 128-111 blowout loss in New Orleans and think about the bigger questions the Lakers have to be asking. What are we going to do without LeBron James and Anthony Davis? How are we going to get stops? How are we going to get scores? Can we hang on?” That Talen Horton-Tucker is a key part of all the answers speaks both to the 20-year-old’s promise and the problematic situation the Lakers find themselves in with Thursday’s trade deadline nearing.
