The New Orleans Pelicans got blown out by the Phoenix Suns and it wasn’t pretty.

The New Orleans Pelicans have had an up-and-down start to the 2020-21 season, looking great at times and at others looking like a lottery team.

Such was the case in their 111-86 loss to the Phoenix Suns, a game where the Pelicans completely disappeared after the first quarter.

The Pels came out sharp behind an aggressive Brandon Ingram on offense and Lonzo Ball’s smothering perimeter defense, but then the first quarter ended and the Pelicans took a nap.
