New Orleans rapper Lil Wayne’s music thumped throughout the Lakers locker room before the game, as loud as a nightclub. Davis left the game briefly after the third quarter due to an injury. Still, the crowd was split between Lakers and Pelicans fans, so there were cheers every time Davis made a basket. Early on, the Lakers’ offense relied heavily on Davis, who took three of the Lakers’ first five shots and had 14 points in the first quarter. New Orleans led by 15 with 1:56 left in the third quarter, but the Lakers began closing in.
