Takeaways

• It's so frustrating how the Pelicans rarely seem to show up against the really good teams.
• The Pelicans didn't play badly, but they didn't play anywhere close to their best.
• It's games like this that let everyone know the Pelicans don't seem like an actual playoff contender, and that's unacceptable.
• Prior to this game, the Pelicans made 25 threes, and it was as if they were expecting to shoot that same way against the Suns. Instead, not only did they not shoot that way, but they allowed the Suns to kill them behind the arc.
