Tonight determines if the Pelicans have a tomorrow. The defending NBA champion San Antonio Spurs are coming into the Smoothing King Center winners of 11 straight and playing their best basketball of the season; even worse for the Pelicans is that the champs still have something to play for so you wouldn't expect Gregg Popovich to rest his guys on the last night of the NBA's regular season, or as the Spurs call it: a six month long formality.
You know the story heading into this game: the Pelicans and Oklahoma City Thunder have the same exact record with one game left to play.
