Dylan Harper crushed the hearts of all Pelicans fans at Smoothie King Center Monday night with his game-winning layup in the Spurs' 134-131 win. It was a bit ironic that Harper was the one to hit the dagger, as at one point last season, many fans believed he could have been a Pelican if the draft lottery had gone their way.
Out of all 22 of the Pelicans' losses this season, this one was definitely painful in the moment, as losing in the clutch is always going to suck. But when looking at the bigger picture, it was an encouraging loss.
