A total of over 100 points per game is missing from New Orleans’ rotation, but the Pelicans (30-49) have not experienced a major drop-off offensively you’d expect from a group headlined by several unproven NBA players. While relying on only nine healthy players, including three who spent time in the D-League this season, Alvin Gentry’s team has still been able to score enough points to win games, going 4-3 over the past seven games. The head coach credits his players’ approach as a major reason for the commendable stretch, highlighted by several instances where New Orleans has dished out roughly 30 assists as a team.
