Pelicans run out of juice, lose 113-103 to Cavaliers

The New Orleans Pelicans hit a wall at an inopportune time, paving the way for a 15-0 run by the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Following Naji Marshall’s floater with 72 seconds remaining in the third quarter, the Pelicans led 81-74. At the 8:19 mark of the fourth, they trailed 89-81.

“Just ran out of gas, didn’t make enough plays” Willie Green said. “Give them credit. They started the fourth quarter with a lot of juice, an 11-0 run. Like I told our guys in the locker room, our margin for error is small.”

The Pelicans fell by a final score of 113-103 because they couldn’t keep pace with the Cavaliers in several areas.
