New Orleans Pelicans destroyed in 100-82 blowout loss to Philadelphia 76ers

Your New Orleans Pelicans stunk it up tonight, losing to the Philadelphia 76ers in embarrassing fashion, 100-82.

By the time two Sixers players alleyoop dunked the same pass — the points went to All-Star Joel Embiid instead of Robert Covington, the assist to snubbed rookie Ben Simmons — the game against the Pelicans could have been called off and fans sent away to continue celebrating the city’s Super Bowl victory of last week. It was getting raucous in Wells Fargo Center and seconds later, after a Dario Saric 3-pointer, it was 23-4.
