If there is such a thing as nitpicking a seven-game win streak for the New Orleans Pelicans, it was the lack of dominant wins. Of the previous seven wins, three went into overtime and another two were decided by single digit points. Only in the 15-point win in Detroit and 18-point win against the Lakers did it truly feel like New Orleans had the game under control from start to finish.
The Pelicans had four days off to feel themselves and come back down to earth after the team’s latest win in San Antonio and turn their attention to Dallas.
