LeBron James and the Lakers were back at it on Saturday (February 23) with a road game in New Orleans. Unfortunately, things didn't carry over from their previous comeback win against the Rockets. Los Angeles fell 128-115 and are now 29-30 for the season. Here are the top five player performances from the game.
Jrue Holiday - New Orleans Pelicans
Holiday has become one of the Pelicans leaders, even more so in the wake of the Anthony Davis trade talk. In Saturday's game, he was the star again. Holiday finished with 27 points on 10-for-18 shooting, gave out seven assists, had three rebounds, and three steals in the win.

Julius Randle - New Orleans Pelicans
Without Anthony Davis in the lineup, big man Julius Randle had to get some work done. Randle was able to hit 9-of-17 shots from the floor and finished with 24 points. He also dished out five assists, collected three rebounds, and had a steal in the latest Pelicans' win.
