Takeaways

• Pels lost by 2 to the #1 seed, and that's a win in my book.
• The New Orleans Pelicans are 0-24 when they are trailing into the 4th quarter and tonight was no different.
• Not sure what's going on, but BI looked off and even Herb Jones didn't look right.
• Pels just needed someone to step up and get hot and no one ever did.
• New Orleans plays next on Wednesday on TNT at 8:30 pm.
