The losing streak now stands at nine games.
The New Orleans Pelicans battled hard against the Denver Nuggets but wound up on the wrong side of a 122-113 final score.
Surprisingly, it was smooth sailing for much of the first half. The first possession saw a number of crisp passes that led to an easy Jonas Valanciunas lay-in. The good ball and man movement continued.
At the 4:35 mark of the second quarter, the Pelicans were enjoying a 53-41 lead. They then hit the first of three speed bumps on the night.
