136 to 134. 8 Wolves in double figures. Including big game from former LSU player Naz Reid. They play the Bulls tonight and have rematch with NO on the 8th. That may not go so well.
Kushner: Pelicans can't afford dumbfounding losses like Tuesday's against Timberwolves
The New Orleans Pelicans can make the playoffs by exclusively beating losing teams.
That fact doesn’t make them good. It also doesn’t make them bad.
It’s just math.
But the arithmetic gets exponentially more difficult if they don’t handle those opportunities. It’s why Tuesday’s 139-134 loss to the dreadful Minnesota Timberwolves was so dumbfounding.
Not only was it Minnesota’s third win in its past 23 games, which is a delirious stat on its own, but also because this runs directly against the Pelicans’ strength.
Entering Tuesday, New Orleans had not only won 19 win of its past 30 games, it had secured 14 victories in 15 tries against opponents currently saddled with a losing record.
And the tanking Timberwolves looked to be the latest victim.
Nope..
