It's official, the Pelicans are a hot team. New Orleans, winners of three straight games, beat the Memphis Grizzlies at their own game, grinding out a 95-82 win at home Tuesday night.
This contest marks the Pelicans fifth win in their last six games, and they’ve cut their deficit in the playoff standings from a full six games down to three and a half in about a week’s time. However, considering 11 games remain on the schedule, they'll need to continue piling up wins to stay in the hunt.
