Stop me if you’ve heard this one…
The New Orleans Pelicans fall behind early in a winnable game, make a late push, but ultimately come up short.
Pelicans fans have seen this play out on their television screens more often than The Shawshank Redemption, though I’d imagine that Andy Dufresne’s journey through 500 yards of waste to freedom seems like a walk in the park compared to suffering through another disappointing loss.
In the record books, a 128-124 loss to the Chicago Bulls doesn’t look that bad. But the score doesn’t tell the story.
