The New Orleans Pelicans did pick up another loss, 133-125 in overtime, against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.
Despite this loss, fans now have an idea of the level this team can play at under interim head coach James Borrego's fast-paced style. New Orleans led for most of this game because they played unselfishly, with pace, and prioritized the three-ball. This pace-and-space brand of basketball was the same one the Hornets played under Borrego during his four seasons with the franchise.
At certain points in the game, particularly at the end of the first quarter, we witnessed exactly how lethal New Orleans' style of play can be.
