They broke into New Orleans with 88-118 from Orlando's limited capabilities, Pelicans and Antony Davies claiming the club does not want to play. The point is that he himself does not seem to want to play, making the worst game of his career, putting just 3 points in 24 minutes, having just been 1 / 9 effortlessly, which is a negative record for his career. When Davies sneaking over 30 attempts ends up taking only 9 and even having tragic rates of accuracy it says something. The coveted trade that he so much demanded did not happen and is forced to finish the season with Pelicans and leave in the summer, with the team weakening however with the flight Mirotic. However, it was a matter of questioning the state in which it would be presented and what mood it would have after the whole story. In the first game he returned to action, he placed 32 points and led Pelicans to victory over Minnesota by showing that he would do his job by the end of the year. However, he moved to the standard for his own standard in the next match at Memphis, having 14 points and 16 rebounds in defeat with 99-90, before the wreck with Orlando. Lost looks like the year for Pelicans, with their chances of preventing playoffs from being simply mathematical.
In the morning, Oklahoma, one of the hottest teams at the moment, has 11 wins 12 last, with 134-129 defeating in Boston. Paul George makes MVP appearances, Russell Westbrook moves permanently at triple-doubles, and Wauver's squad after and with the vicious defeat has the opportunity to reduce the difference in 3 wins from the top of the West before going to the All Star break.
The two teams are ranked in Top-6 of the teams with the fastest tempo in the NBA. Oklahoma with Paul George in a crazy form draws the 120 points for a while, while Pelicans played as finished in the last two and did not even overtake 90, they seem to lose the playoffs train and seem to have taken it decision, while AD also seems to treat games as chore.
I do not know if AD decides to play at the level it deserves tonight but also to make it Pelicans is too few for OKC, especially in Momentum, who are watching even close to the top in the West, coming with one more day of rest by the Pelicans. Dennis Schroder's 6th man's absence in the evening does not seem to be a problem, and it will make me feel great if Oklahoma faces problems this afternoon in New Orleans.
