The last time they met the Phoenix Suns was in the game 6 loss during the 2022 playoffs. With that first round series ending to no one’s satisfaction, the Pelicans can use the painful memory as a source of motivation.
“We’re definitely focused on the fact that we played them in the playoffs,” Willie Green said after yesterday’s practice. “In the Western Conference, that’s one of the teams you have to go through. So that will be on our minds.”
