Player Grades: New Orleans Pelicans Can Not Slow Down Boston Celtics in Loss

Things have not gotten off to the start the New Orleans Pelicans hoped for on their East Coast Road Trip.

In the first of five straight games away from home against East foes, the Pelicans could not keep the Celtics’ long range shooting at bay, falling 117-108.

New Orleans got off to a great first quarter, scoring 31 points and holding a three-point lead on Boston. The Celtics did not even hold a lead in the game, until just over two minutes in the half.

After that, however, things began to fall apart for the Pelicans.
