Not a lot of defense and not a lot of good offense led to competitive match (on the scoreboard at least) between two teams who seem to have called it a season early. But to the Pelicans credit, their bad defensive possessions and offensive struggles didn’t stem from motivational issues, the team came out and competed the same way they have the last week or so, it just so happened they ran into a New York team who couldn’t put anything together, besides the longest, unnecessary final minute of fouling ever. The win keeps the Pelicans two wins ahead of the Minnesota Timberwolves, who also won a close game against a team hoping for losses in Phoenix.
