If you were hoping to see some positives from the New Orleans Pelicans in their final tune-up before the start of the 2017-18 regular season, well, sorry — yeah, that’s all I’ve got!
The Grizzlies started tonight’s contest in ultra high gear, and their effort and execution ran circles around the Pelicans starters throughout the first half. While New Orleans struggled to get good shots and limit the opponent’s open looks, Memphis didn’t have a single issue. For instance, Grizzly rookie Dillon Brooks shot a perfect 5-5 from the three-point line, with all of his attempts coming way too easily.
