If the New Orleans Pelicans do make the Play-In Tournament, they’ll be backing their way in so hard that you’d think Juvenile was the head coach.
The Pels got burned by the Phoenix Suns, 115-131 on Tuesday night, ending their four-game home stand with just one win.
Going up against possibly the best team in the NBA is hard enough, but the absence of Brandon Ingram had the Pelicans playing with one hand, and about 25 points, behind their backs.
Surprisingly New Orleans was able to get seven players into double figures, led by 22 points from Herb Jones and 21 from CJ McCollum.
