The New Orleans Pelicans started slow, battled back, and then stalled out down the home stretch against the Miami Heat on the second night of a back-to-back to lose 120-112. DeMarcus Cousins worked against foul trouble all night and picked up his 19th technical foul along the way (he will be suspended if he picks up another one) for a rather innocuous (yet still unnecessary) shove during a dead ball situation. There was some good, and likely unsustainable, production from role players outside of Solomon Hill to go along with another uninspiring effort out of Jrue Holiday.
