Pelicans head into the offseason after 144-109 mauling by Towns and Timberwolves

The New Orleans Pelicans (30-52) drop their final game of the season to the Minnesota Timberwolves (29-53) 144-109. Omer Asik finished with 24 points and 11 rebounds for New Orleans, while Karl-Anthony Towns finished with 28 points, 14 rebounds and three assists for Minnesota. There are no more games left and I am sad.

This was a blowout from the start. As soon as Towns took it coast to coast, I knew I wasn't going to be reviewing much from this game. The Pelicans, left with seven players available for the finale, allowed 72 points in the first half and close to 62 percent from the field in the first half.
