Tonight should have been a lot easier for the New Orleans Pelicans, but at the end of the day, all wins really do count the same in the standings.
At home against the 2-11 Atlanta Hawks, co-owners of the worst record in basketball, the Pelicans were in prime position to have a glorified scrimmage to get prepared for Wednesday’s rematch with the Toronto Raptors. But a funny thing happened in the first quarter of tonight’s game, the Hawks made a three. And another. And another after that one.
Before anyone could process what was happening, the first quarter came to an Eminem snap back to reality oh there goes gravity halt and New Orleans was on the wrong side of a 32-23 deficit.
