Winning is never easy in this league, but the Pelicans are starting to show they have the fortitude to starting building victories as a team. However, as they learned last night, winning is certainly easier for New Orleans when Jrue Holiday is on the floor.
Last night against the Utah Jazz, the New Orleans Pelicans were without Holiday, who was questionable but eventually ruled out after suffering a left elbow contusion in Saturday’s win over the Sacramento Kings.
Clearly missing their leading defender yesterday, the team will hope the guard’s outage is a short-term issue that’ll resolve itself before the weekend.
