The New Orleans Pelicans now find themselves on a four game losing streak after falling to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday night. On the same day Norris Cole had his jersey retired by his collegiate alma mater, Cole performed admirably. Unfortunately, the Pelicans were not able to overcome the lackluster shooting from long range and the talent level of the stacked Cavaliers.
Down the stretch, the Cavaliers exploited the match-ups the Pelicans gave them with isolation sets drawn up for their premier players, Lebron James and Kyrie Irving. The Pelicans could not handle the talent gap, and the Cavaliers pulled away at the end to seal the victory.
