Fall behind early, watch the momentum swing as New Orleans charges back, only to fall apart offensively during the last five minutes.
It’s a heartbreaking way to lose. It’s arguably the worst way to lose. Rather than suffer once at the end of the game, we get treated to a double-digit deficit every first quarter eliciting a reaction not all too dissimilar to this one.
Then, jubilation strikes as the team finds its rhythm, surging back late and even seizing control of the unthinkable — a late game lead!
Alas, again, it’s all for naught.
