They lost another game — and another player to injury, but The Second Line nearly propelled the team to the best comeback victory of the season against Nikola Jokic.
The New Orleans Pelicans, who trailed by as many as 19 points multiple times, fell 99-98 to the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday evening, extending their losing streak to five games.
The writing of another loss seemed to be on the wall when Dyson Daniels collapsed to the floor early in the second quarter, writhing in serious pain.
Daniels severely twisted his right ankle after landing on Zeke Nnaji’s foot following a floater shot attempt.
