NEW ORLEANS -- The last time the Pelicans lost a home game they were playing the Los Angeles Lakers.Now two and a half weeks later, those teams meet again in the Smoothie King Center where New Orleans (6-12) has won four straight games and will try to bounce back after consecutive road losses to the Portland Trail Blazers and Dallas Mavericks.Los Angeles (9-9), which bounced back from back-to-back losses to the Golden State Warriors to beat the Atlanta Hawks 109-95 at home on Sunday, had an easy time in a 126-99 victory at New Orleans on Nov. 12Before the two-game road trip, New Orleans had won four straight. It had a 68-62 lead early in the fourth quarter before the NBA-worst Mavericks went on a 27-12 run despite playing without All-Star forward Dirk Nowitzki.We just need to go back to what we did in that winning streak -- sharing the ball and having movement, Pelicans rookie guard Buddy Hield told the teams official website. Everybody was having fun. We need to get that back flowing. The league now is like you lose two in a row, you need to get back to winning. Its tough to get a win in this league.Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry was tight-lipped after the loss. In his post-game news conference he had a simple explanation for the outcome, saying six different times, nearly verbatim, they outplayed us and they deserved to win before ending the brief session.The loss to the Lakers dropped the Pelicans to 0-5 at home, but they havent lost there since. Los Angeles led 63-62 in the third quarter when New Orleans forward Anthony Davis, the NBAs leading scorer, went to the locker room to have a stiff lower back treated. In his absence, the Lakers went on a 14-0 run.Los Angeles showed off its depth in that game as the bench scored 73 points. The Lakers bench was strong again Sunday, outscoring the Hawks bench 65-24 and turning the game around by turning a 32-21 deficit after one quarter into a 56-48 halftime lead.The energy that the second unit brought on the defensive end in the second quarter changed the outcome of that game, Lakers coach Luke Walton told the Los Angeles Times. Its what we have been preaching all year, but it was really the first time that we saw all five guys on the court talking defensively.The Lakers depth has been tested because of the absence of two starters. Point guard DAngelo Russell is sidelined because of a left knee injury and power forward Julius Randle has missed the last three games because of a hip injury. Russell is expected to miss at least another week, but Randle traveled with the team in hopes of playing at some point during a four-game road trip that begins Tuesday.Thomas Robinson, who is with his sixth team since being drafted No. 5 overall in 2012, made his first start of the season in Randles place against Atlanta. He had nine points and eight rebounds in 15-plus minutes.What I didnt do earlier in my career is take baby steps, Robinson told the Lakers official website. I just wanted it all at one time. This is what Im doing now. Its a process and Ill keep growing, keep growing. Im still young (25), so I have plenty left.

Pavel Datsyuk Jersey . - Oakland Raiders running back Rashad Jennings was speaking to a group of local high school students earlier this week when the conversation turned to the importance of being prepared when opportunities in life arise.The Plymouth Devils have made the shock announcement that they are to close down due to mounting debts. Officials at the Premier League club made the decision to pull out of speedway after holding a meeting on Monday evening. The final straw for the board came last Friday when the clubs season-opener - the Spring Classic - attracted a crowd of only 450 to the St Boniface Arena.David Short, one of the clubs four directors, told the Plymouth Herald: The club has been in financial difficulties for a couple of years and the meeting last Friday persuaded us that it would not be financially viable for us to carry on.I accept it was cold, but only 450 turned up and it was quite plain that we were not going to meet the crowd figures we needed this season to keep going.We needed at the very minimum 700 people each meeting and to be absolutely safe, 800.Last years play-offs meeting against Glasgow was the only time that we managed to do that. We were losing £2,000 to £3,000 per meeting and we obviously couldnt sustain that.The British Speedway Promoters Association (BSPA) has expresseed its disappointment at the decision but will keep Plymouths place in the Premier League open in the short term in the hope that someone else will take over the club.dddddddddddd.A BSPA statement released at lunchtime on Tuesday read: We have no alternative but to respect the decision of the Plymouth Speedway promotion although the timing is unfortunate and we have spent this morning making every effort to help clubs rearrange fixtures.The BSPA management committee were informed of this decision on Monday evening and naturally regard this as disappointing news for the sport in general, the Plymouth riders and the people of Plymouth and surrounding areas in particular.As an association it is our wish to see the sport continue in Plymouth and we would urge any interested parties in keeping the Plymouth Devils alive and on track to make contact with a representative of the Plymouth Speedway promotion or, alternatively, with the BSPA office via email at office@bspa.co.uk as a matter of urgency.
