What goes into a win? I’d argue that more than “identity”, finding the answer to that question has been the primary problem afflicting the New Orleans Pelicans this season. No victory has been all that similar, outside of those performances in which Anthony Davis’s magnificence is enough. Tonight against the Oklahoma City Thunder, the Pelicans will need to find what works early, and stick with it.
You may have heard about the results of Monday night’s game– the Pelicans took down the defending champion Cleveland Cavaliers, without their superstar. It took Jrue Holiday and Terrence Jones playing like superstars to get that done, but it happened.
