The New Orleans Pelicans are playing their basketball of the season and that’s about as good of news as this team can have heading into the new year, or so they thought.
Granted, the team probably wishes they started with a little more consistency than they’ve had up to this point, plummeting to the bottom of the West.
However, since they spelled their 13-game losing streak with a win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, the Pelicans have become a significantly better basketball team, especially on the defensive end of the floor.
Since the losing streak was snapped, the Pelicans have jumped to 11-23, winning five of their last six and take a four-game winning streak into the next decade.
