Let’s say you’re an NBA team on the road and you go into the fourth quarter leading the home team by three. The home team, by the way, is the hottest in the league and entered the night riding a 16-game home winning streak.
What do you do?
Most teams would say we’re going to take that lead and go for the jugular. We’re going to attack, keep the home crowd at bay and be the team that ends the opponent’s win streak.
The Pelicans, however, are not most teams.
New Orleans is a bad team.
