Tonight did not go according to plan for the New Orleans Pelicans.
After giving up just 49 points in the first half, the Pels let Houston score 68 points in the second half. New Orleans could not keep up, as the Rockets would hold on to snap the Pelicans three-game win streak.
The Pelicans came into tonight doing well on the rebounding. However, tonight was one of the weakest performances on the boards for New Orleans. The Pelicans lost the rebounding battle by a whopping 59-36 margin. That includes 15 offensive rebounds for Houston.
Plain and simply, the New Orleans Pelicans did not get the job done.
