Everyone already knew what the outcome was going to be. The Pelicans struggle against the Rockets; they also struggle on the road. Two wrongs usually do not make a right, and that narrative continued to ring true Wednesday night.
With that being said, when you are up 93-87 around the 2:00 mark, you should pull out the victory more times than not. Late game execution was nonexistent, and I am almost positive that Alvin Gentry had a stroke after multiple possessions resulted in turnovers down the stretch.
Houston put the game away late, icing the Pelicans frazzled offense to only two measly Ryan Anderson free throws the rest of the way.
