Another game equals another loss for the New Orleans Pelicans. When All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins went out for the year with a torn Achilles tendon people realized moving forward would be tough for NOLA. Sadly, no one realized HOW tough. Sans DeMarcus Cousins the Pelicans have gone 1-4 in their last five contests with tonight being their fourth and, frankly, worst loss during that stretch.
One word to describe tonights matchup between the New Orleans Pelicans and Utah Jazz; demolition. Even without young star Donovan Mitchell, it seemed as though Utah could do no wrong tonight against New Orleans as they managed to shoot 58% from the field and 67% from deep.
