The Pelicans found their way into overtime after a crazy situation late in regulation, however they could not find the answers to get past the Clippers and fell on the road.
The beginning of the game was a similar tale, as the Pelicans turned a first-quarter lead into a big deficit at halftime, giving up 37 second-quarter points to a hot-shooting Clippers teams. However, Clippers mistakes and Pelicans execution helped them climb back into the game. In overtime, New Orleans had many chances to find the lead, yet their shooters couldn’t find any rhythm and they stayed behind for most of the overtime.
