The New Orleans Pelicans were just 28-36 when play was suspended, hardly a record worth bragging about.
But they did most of that without the services of Zion Williamson, and the Pelicans were a much different team when the big man returned from injury.
The New Orleans Pelicans’ starting lineup was the most efficient in the NBA, outscoring opponents by 26.3 points per 100 possessions.
It’s safe to say that the Pelicans are not the same team that started the season 6-22 and had lost 13 games in a row.
