The New Orleans Pelicans (24-41) continue their near free-fall after dropping the third game of five on this road trip, this time to the injured-but-plucky Milwaukee Bucks (28-38). , the game was both closer and even more out of reach than the score indicates.
The Pelicans spent most of the game playing catch up the rested Bucks . . . remember, the Pelican lost in overtime to the Grizzlies the prior evening, finally managing to grab a lead in the third and to be within 3 with 7:45 left to play. At that point, it just fell apart.
