Short Handed Pelicans Hold On to Defeat Los Angeles Clippers

It’s been a long, brutal season for the Pelicans and their fans. The news didn’t get any better today as Alvin Gentry announced that they would be shutting down Anthony Davis for the season, just as their former franchise centerpiece – Chris Paul – came to town. But how embarrassing is it for the Clippers, who were relatively healthy (except for trainer punching Blake Griffin), to lose to a Pelicans team missing Davis, Tyreke Evans, Quincy Pondexter, Ryan Anderson, and Eric Gordon on Sunday afternoon? Perhaps Pelicans fans can take some solace from the pain Floppers, I mean Clippers, fans felt today.
