After a strong road win against the Utah Jazz just a few nights ago, the New Orleans Pelicans came out flat in a 104-88 loss to the Phoenix Suns. This marks the 19th loss on the season for the Pelicans, who continue to dig themselves a deeper hole to dig out of if they hope to get back to the playoffs this season.
Early on into the game, it was clear New Orleans was flat. The Pelicans shot just 26.1% from the field in the first quarter of play. It didn’t end there, as the Pelicans found close to zero offensive rhythm throughout the game, finishing with a 36.
