The New Orleans Pelicans entered Monday night’s game versus the Minnesota Timberwolves seeking their second win in three games. The Pelicans were again a bit short-handed not counting Zion Williamson’s injury, with Devonte’ Graham missing his third straight contest due to a sore left foot.
Odds are, the inclusion of the starting point guard probably wouldn’t have had the desired effect of completely reversing a disastrous performance which contained multiple self-inflicted wounds.
The Timberwolves seized control of the game rather easily in the second quarter and never looked back, beating the Pelicans by a comfortable 110-96 margin.
