Not even the magical powers of Antonio Daniels’ lucky turtleneck had a chance of making a positive dent.
The New Orleans Pelicans were thoroughly outplayed on Saturday evening, losing 111-94 to the Indiana Pacers.
The execution by the regulars was simply horrendous. Their effort was miserable. It was easily the worst display of winning basketball by the group on the season.
The onslaught began in the first quarter. The Pacers jumped out to a 23-6 lead and never looked back. They moved the ball well, hit their fair share of outside jumpers and didn’t give the Pelicans an inch.
