The Pelicans were obliterated by the Suns in Phoenix on Tuesday evening, dropping their record to 2-2 and making fans wonder across New Orleans where the help is going to come from after another collective poor showing from the reserve unit in the second quarter practically destroyed all hope for a potential victory.
In the first quarter, the Pelicans more than held their own — they started the game on fire from the field (8-9 FGs) — despite the Suns hot 7-11 shooting from distance, losing the frame by only two points after pounding the paint for numerous scores.
