On Friday the New Orleans Pelicans fell to the Toronto Raptors by the final score of 100-81. Kyle Lowry finished with 20 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals for the Raptors, while Eric Gordon led the Pelicans in scoring with 30 points. Anthony Davis did not play against the Raptors, as he was nursing a bruised hip. The loss pushes New Orleans' record to 1-8 on the season.
Flat isn't the word I'm looking for, but it seemed like no one came out and gave you that performance needed to stabilize four quarters with Anthony Davis out.
