Only the New Orleans Pelicans can trail for basically an entire game and then almost take it to overtime with a barrage of late fourth quarter threes.
Regardless, that late energy from the Pelicans was to no avail, as the team’s hopes of making the play-in tournament were further dimmed after a nail-biting but inevitable 112-114 loss to the Denver Nuggets on the road.
Stan Van Gundy’s team was fighting from behind the entire game. It was a game of runs, but none of them ever really put the Pelicans in the driver’s seat.
