The New Orleans will face a tough test on Friday night as the run and gun Indiana Pacers ride into town. Coming off an unexpected loss to an undermanned Dallas team on Wednesday night, spirits are not high in regards to the contest against Indiana. Against Dallas, the Pelicans regressed after a few games of progress by playing little to no defense and running a bland offense.
Ryan Anderson was particularly bad, and he shot a ghastly two of 12 from the field. No one else was particularly good either, as Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon and Anthony Davis all struggled.
