Where the New Orleans Pelicans vs. Washington Wizards matchup Friday night was entertaining and competitive, last night’s game was a slog. The game got away from Washington when head coach Brian Keefe went to the bench late in the first quarter, and they never got back into it. The Pelicans led by as much as 21 in the second half before the Wizards trimmed the lead to a respectable 12 by the final buzzer.
With the loss, Washington moves back to last place in the NBA — 6-27 with an 18.2% winning percentage to New Orleans’ 7-29, 19.
