With Tyreke Evans and Norris Cole returning to action on Tuesday night the New Orleans Pelicans had hopes of starting to get back on the right track and headed towards the playoffs. After Marc Gasol torched them for 38 points, 13 rebounds and six assists they are still trying to figure out how to get there.
Evans was good in his season debut with 20 points, 10 assists, five rebounds and just one turnover and Anthony Davis added 17 points, 14 rebounds and nine blocks but it wasn’t enough as New Orleans crumbled after a strong first quarter and lost once again by a significant margin.
