What a depressing, d-e-p-r-e-s-s-i-n-g defeat.
The Pelicans should have honestly beaten the Timberwolves on Saturday night. Instead they’re leaving Minnesota with the stain of a 110-106 loss, and at this point, we should have zero confidence in this team on the road. Their record away from New Orleans speaks for itself, sitting now at a deplorable 5-17 mark, and the reasons for the latest stinging defeat is a list that’s longer than the Causeway.
New Orleans jumped out to a 14-8 lead, but the mind-numbing turnovers — like passes that had no chance — and missed layups revealed themselves quickly.
