For nearly all of yesterday, the Sacramento Kings owned the worst current losing streak in the NBA at five games. Following their win against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Pelicans are now placeholders of the biggest losers.
Four straight losses isn't all that much in the grand scheme of things of an 82-game schedule, but it can be when it becomes a habit. For the seventh time this season, New Orleans has strung together four or more losses in a row. That's a hell of a lot of L's -- 31 to be exact -- without the interruption of a win.
