The New Orleans Pelicans sit at 7-23 wondering how the season got old so quick.
Another heartbreaking, fall-from-ahead 106-102 loss to the listless Golden State Warriors on Friday night, the Pels are picking up right where they left off, just a few days removed from a 13-game losing streak. In order to avoid making it two in a row, the Pels will have to shut down Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, and maybe Carmelo Anthony.
The Blazers are back in the playoff hunt thanks to a number of underachieving western teams, currently sitting in 8th at 14-16.
