The New Orleans Pelicans dropped their second in the row in the midst of a five game road trip. Both losses were hard-fought battles as the team showed grit and determination in both games. Unfortunately, grit doesn’t factor into wins and losses.
Their next crack at a win comes tonight when they battle the Portland TrailBlazers, a team they swept in the first round of the playoffs last season. I’m sure Portland would like nothing more than to somewhat avenge a disappointing end to their season last year.
Injuries will be a concern for the Pelicans moving forward.
