The New Orleans Pelicans have wrapped up another exhibition schedule — their third straight — with a perfect won/loss record.
They went 5-0 in the last preseason, 3-0 in the bubble practice games, and with a 127-113 victory over the Bucks on Friday night, have concluded the 2020 preseason with a 2-0 record. Let’s hope this time, though, it leads to stronger play out of the gates in games that count, right?
Despite the the two preseason wins this week, the Pelicans are not a finished product. Stan Van Gundy mentioned to postgame media that he was only pleased with the defense in the first quarter against the Bucks, lamenting what he saw over the final three frames.
