Kiwi NBA star Steven Adams and four-time MVP LeBron James got into a brief tussle during the clash between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday. James finished with 21 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds, and Anthony Davis added 17 points against his former team in the Lakers' fifth consecutive victory. LeBron and Steven Adams earned techs after this. Seven Lakers scored at least nine points, and LA committed a season-low eight turnovers while forcing 20. The Pelicans only scored 37 points in the second half.
