The New Orleans Pelicans will officially reach the midway point of the season on Tuesday night when they host the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Sitting at 14-26, the Pelicans are slightly behind pace when it comes to equalling or surpassing their 31 wins from a season ago.
After suffering another tough loss on Sunday afternoon in Toronto, New Orleans has dropped five out of its last six as well.
“Resiliency” remains the word for the Pelicans right now, because things aren’t getting any easier.
January will be the most difficult month of the season when measuring the quality of the team’s opponents.
