LOS ANGELES – New Orleans TV play-by-play broadcaster Joel Meyers accurately described it on-air as “the biggest win of the season,” but Pelicans players weren’t in an overly celebratory mood when the buzzer sounded Saturday at Golden State. They knew there was more work to do.
“We’re still not in the playoffs. What are we celebrating?” Pelicans point guard Rajon Rondo said this morning at shootaround of his team’s reaction to the quality road victory. “We did what we were supposed to do. Regardless of what people thought, we came out on a back-to-back, played hard, played the defending champs.
