Pelicans enter All-Star Break with microscopic playoff hopes

Last season the New Orleans Pelicans entered the All-Star Break on a three game losing streak and yet just a game and a half behind the Phoenix Suns for the eighth and final playoff spot. An imminent return for Jrue Holiday was on the horizon along with a trade for Norris Cole to bolster the back court. Holiday's return would be delayed until April thanks to a set back but Cole would play well above his head (including the flat top) and the Pelicans would find their way into the playoffs thanks in part to this amazing Anthony Davis buzzer beater.
