The New Orleans Pelicans have missed chances to close games in the 4th quarter.
The New Orleans Pelicans lost a heartbreaker to the Indiana Pacers in a game that they definitely should have won.
They coughed up a six-point lead in less than a minute, and what looked like a sure Pelicans’ win turned into an overtime loss.
Failing to close games is a trend for the Pelicans going back to last season when they were one of the worst crunch-time teams in the NBA.
