After a competitive first half, largely in part to the Pelicans bench combining to score 35 points, the second half was a total disaster. The team went down as abjectly as the Titanic in the icy waters of the Atlantic Ocean because they failed to solve the most simplistic riddle: How to get Anthony Davis, Mr. 59/20, the ball in space.
Precisely, the third quarter was a horror show. On one end, the Wizards shot wide open three-point jumpers multiple times inw glee, especially Jared Dudley. For some reason, New Orleans didn't think it was pertinent to guard one of their best marksmen from the perimeter.
