Kira Lewis Jr. deserves more minutes for the New Orleans Pelicans and Stan Van Gundy is starting to give them to him.
The New Orleans Pelicans’ four-game winning streak was snapped by the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, but fans should not worry. Stan Van Gundy’s squad was on the second night of a back-to-back and the Bulls had an outlier performance, hitting 53 percent of their three-pointers. These things happen in the NBA.
It’s tough to argue that the New Orleans Pelicans played much worse than they have during their recent resurgence, bar Eric Bledsoe perhaps.
