New Orleans Pelicans fall to Timberwolves as turnovers pile up

Warm, crunchy but soft. A doughy outer casing and a sugary moist core. Preferably with apples and powdered sugar on top, turnovers are a delicious dessert item, perfect to enjoy after a long day at work.

The New Orleans Pelicans are not yet a team that is perfect to enjoy after a long day at work, thanks in large part to turnovers. When the Pels turn it over it is the exact opposite of sweet, it’s not even an enjoyable type of bitter.

It’s simply sour, an annoyingly constant aspect of Pelicans games. They have now turned the ball over 38 times over the last two games and it feels like much more because their transition defense is abysmal.
