The New Orleans Pelicans just can’t shake this alternating wins and losses thing.
Coming off a somewhat surprising 118-114 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder this past Wednesday, enjoying three days of rest since that big win and reportedly having the best practice of the season 24 hours earlier, the Pelicans still managed to lose by a 102-96 margin to the Miami Heat.
In fact, this Eastern Conference team currently sitting outside of the playoff bubble has already swept the season series. Although New Orleans is on a similar pace to last season, one can’t help but shake the feeling that this one may not go accordingly.
