A little over six months ago, the New Orleans Pelicans traveled to the San Francisco Bay Area on quite a high. They knocked off the San Antonio Spurs in the final game of the regular season to earn a ticket to the 2015 postseason. The 8th seed of the Western Conference playoffs made a run late in Game 1 to make the score respectable and flipped the script for Game 2 by entering the fourth quarter tied. However, both games ended in the same manner and the Pelicans left Roaracle down 0-2.
This time around, the playing field will be different.
