The Pelicans lost four straight games before finally beating the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the Hornets lost their last seven games before finally blowing out the Atlanta Hawks 107-84 that same day.
Meanwhile, the Pelicans continue their own personal streak of being the most confusing team in the league.
In a world which makes sense, the Pelicans would handily beat a terrible Lakers team and then probably lose to a hungry and motivated Kings team.
Regardless, they lost to the Lakers one night and then beat the Kings by 12 the following night.
