LOS ANGELES – Basketball is at the top of the agenda during New Orleans Pelicans voluntary workouts this week in Southern California, but there’s also bowling, movie-going and bonding. When Jrue Holiday, Anthony Davis and Quincy Pondexter recently discussed the idea of assembling players to work out as a group, they wanted to foster the team’s togetherness and camaraderie.
“I think that it’s very important,” Holiday said of the intangible. “You see the teams that are winning or have won, and you see chemistry on and off the court. I think it goes a long way, especially on the court (when) you care for (teammates) personally and you don’t want to let them down.
