Losses are common at this point; just keep trucking. In a Western Conference with a weak bottom half, the New Orleans Pelicans are right in the middle of things, and still within shouting distance of a .500 record. Besides, tonight wasn’t all bad.

I talk often on the site about how sometimes NBA regular season games can be as simple as overcoming trends or capitalizing on opportunity. Generally, I’m referring to things like health or playing style– areas the Pelicans have historically (at least in this era) been at a disadvantage.
