The Pelicans were able to somehow fight, compete, and stay around for most of the game, but could stop the Lebrons from taking control in the 4th. It was a 4-pt game heading into the the final frame despite the Pels being down double digits multiple times. They were in the game thanks in large part to Norris Cole, who decided he was just going to start making all those ridiculous shots he takes. He started the 2nd half with 5 straight buckets for 13 points. He finished the night with 26 points on 10 of 19 shooting.
The team couldn’t hit anything that wasn’t a 2.
