Even though the doldrums from 3-point range continued, the New Orleans Pelicans wasted an opportunity to break their three-game losing streak Monday evening, falling 93-90 to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
After leading for the entirety of the fourth quarter, the Pelicans still maintained an 84-78 edge with 4:59 left in regulation. However, New Orleans’ offense only managed to add six more points to their total the rest of the way.
A Devonte’ Graham midrange jumper at the 1:59 mark was the last positive notation.
Jonas Valanciunas had a real chance to send the game into overtime, but he missed a running layup with 0.
