The New Orleans Pelicans have dropped their ninth straight game, and at this point, finding silver linings feels impossible.
Demoralizing. That's the word that sums up the Pelicans’ Saturday night loss, 115-98 to the Atlanta Hawks. Every single night, it feels like the Pels are in this game at the end of one quarter and then enter quarters two and three looking like a completely different team. New Orleans left the first frame up four and ended the half being outscored 35-21.
