Let’s face it, none of us want the New Orleans Pelicans to lose a game. But Monday’s loss has 3 positives that may end up helping this team garner some future wins.
First, there’s the emergence of Willy Hernangomez. We have seen very little of one of the newer Pelicans this season and thanks to a (hopefully minor) injury to Steven Adams that kept him out of the game, the Spaniard saw some significant playing time.
