The Lakers Nation Podcast is back to break down the Los Angeles Lakers’ blowout win over the New Orleans Pelicans. After enduring an onslaught from Anthony Davis, Los Angeles was able to put the game away in the second half. Their season-high 36 assists were impressive, especially since they are in the bottom of the league in that category.

We take a look at D’Angelo Russell’s big night in addition to how Julius Randle was able to make a huge impact on the game despite struggling to score against Davis. Nick Young continued his comeback tour, while Lou Williams turned in yet another stellar performance.

Unfortunately, not every Laker had a great night, so we take a look at Luol Deng’s struggles this season and discuss whether or not it’s time to worry about his four-year, $72 million deal. We wrap things up by going over whether or not Los Angeles’ winning ways are sustainable.

All that and much more in the latest edition of the Lakers Nation Podcast:
