And with that the Pelicans’ 2016-17 season has finally come to a close.
New Orleans ends the year with a 103-100 win over the playoff bound Portland Trailblazers. With the win, New Orleans put a stop to a five-game losing streak that had plagued them the entire month of April and won their first game in the Moda Center since November of 2010. 11 straight losses coming into tonight if you were keeping count — nobody beats the Pelicans 12 straight times at their place, no sir.
Considering there was no Anthony Davis, DeMarcus Cousins, Damian Lillard or CJ McCollum, the game wound up fairly entertaining.
