If there is anything more confusing than this New Orleans Pelicans’ season, please point it out for me.
Down 101-94, the Pelicans used the final 3:36 to force overtime and then rode their young developing core to secure the victory over ROY Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.
And that’s fine, in a vacuum. You want those big shots for your young team, and you want to see them develop. However, it completely and totally mitigates the disaster on Saturday night. With 7.7 seconds remaining, the ball, and a three-point lead, the Pelicans managed to throw away a sure-fire victory against the league’s second-worst team.
