Pelicans trying to make the most of extended break between playoff rounds

New Orleans players can lean on the advice of Rajon Rondo and his 100 games of NBA postseason experience in all types of situations, but the 12-year veteran point guard can’t help the Pelicans much in terms of dealing with a week-plus of rest between playoff games. Rondo noted after practice Tuesday that he hasn’t been part of a sweep during his career – even his 2008 champion Celtics needed seven games in a first-round series vs. upset-minded Atlanta.

With New Orleans capping a sweep over Portland on Saturday, the Pelicans still aren’t sure when they will begin their Western Conference semifinal series, but it won’t be at least until this Saturday.
