The New Orleans Pelicans’ play-in tournament hopes suffered a big blow after an overtime loss to the Washington Wizards.
If you are a fan of three-pointers, then this was not the game for you. The Pelicans have struggled from beyond the arc all season, once again making only 25 percent of their threes on Friday night, while the Wizards converted on just four triples during the entire game. Before overtime, Washington had only made two threes.
The Pelicans could count themselves lucky to only be down one point at the break, some of which can be attributed to the Wizards’ dreadful perimeter shooting.
