The New Orleans Pelicans had no business competing in this game, especially without Jrue Holiday and Alonzo Gee. However, the Pelicans put in an impressive effort to keep the game relatively close for the majority of the game. Newcomer James Ennis had a decent game marked by mental mistakes, but that should be expected considering he signed with the team the day of the game. Going forward, it’ll be interesting to see if Hamilton or Ennis can prove enough to the coaching staff and front office to warrant keeping them around for the remainder of the season.
