Historically, back-to-back games have never been easy on teams, but the most dreaded variety is the road/road set. Well, that’s precisely what’s in front of the Pelicans as they’ll face the Jazz in Salt Lake City tonight.
In what should have resulted in an easy victory against the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night turned into a bit of a nail-biter down the stretch of the 4th quarter. The Pelicans led by a comfortable 97-83 margin with 5:37 remaining, yet the Lakers went on to score the game’s next 14 points.
