The Pelicans had a golden opportunity to build an actual winning streak heading into Jrue Holiday’s glorious return at home on Friday. However, they instead faced the remarkable bad luck of losing Anthony Davis to injury on this same night.
Shorthanded, the Pelicans fell to an extremely disappointing Magic team. It comes down to talent some nights, and against Serge Ibaka and Evan Fournier, the Pelicans’ starters needed a career night from Terrence Jones to keep it close.
Close they kept it, but in the end another loss was tallied.
I think the worst thing you can say about a point guard is that you didn’t notice him.
