In the Pelicans' 128-122 loss, everything that possibly could have gone wrong went wrong, suggesting that this game was a fluke and won't be common this season.

Take a deep breath, Pelicans fans. Everything will be alright. I understand the 128-122 loss hurts, especially after all the hype built up this summer. However, the Pelicans barely lost this game, on a night when nothing went right.

Zion Williamson was 10/21 and started the game 0/4 in the first quarter, the chances of him ever shooting that poorly are unbelievably low.
