Think back to opening night for a moment.
The Pelicans began the 2018-19 campaign in Houston, home of last year’s highest seed in the West. On national television, New Orleans took it to the Rockets, beating them by a 131-112 margin, and I thought, “Wow. These Pelicans are road warriors I tell you what.”
But following a depressing 0-5 road trip that ended a week ago, I’m starting to think that maybe, just maybe, the Pelicans aren’t quite the road warriors I thought they were. Actually, more like the opposite. Nevertheless, New Orleans has a shot to redeem themselves in a big way if they can pick up road victory No.
