、

Brandon Ingram scored a season-high 35 points and added five rebounds and four assists as the Pelicans overcame a double-digit first-half deficit to end a 10-game losing streak at home, 131-126, against their former team.

Englund scored his most points in a game since scoring 38 against the NUGGETS on March 6 of last year. He missed 30 straight games because of the injury and didn't return until late January. He scored 11 points in the third quarter and 42 points in a single quarter with the team's firepower, helping him cut an 11-point deficit to within three.

Englund scored eight more points in the fourth quarter, and Trey Murphy III and C.J. McCollum combined for 15 as the Pelicans rallied and held the Lakers to just 33.3 percent shooting, especially in the final moments, when McKellan and Englund scored seven straight points. The Pelicans pushed their lead to six points before the Lakers were unable to fight back, snapping a two-game winning streak.

Six Pelicans scored in double figures, including five with at least 18 points, to put pressure on the Lakers' defensive line. McCarren had 23 points and seven assists, Murphy had 21 points and five rebounds and Jonas Valanciunas had 18 points, 14 rebounds and five assists. Junior Jose Alvarado added 18 points off the bench on 7-of-11 shooting, and Larry Nance Jr. also had 10 points, nine rebounds and four assists against his former team.

LeBron James finished with 27 points, nine rebounds and six assists to move within 36 points of breaking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's career record of 38,387 points and a chance to become the NBA's leading scorer in the next game at home against the Thunder.

Anthony Davis had 34 points, 14 rebounds, three assists and two stops, and Dennis Schroder had 10 assists. Russell Westbrook had 15 points, four rebounds and four assists, while Troy Brown Jr. and Lonnie Walker IV also scored in double figures
