Play of the Week:

Not a set play of any sort on this one but a play that has signified some of the good and the bad of this team.

In one regard, the Pelicans’ struggles offensively – they have slipped to13th in offensive rating – can be traced to poor shooting from beyond the arc. New Orleans is shooting 33.8 percent from three in the last four games.

Part of the reason there’s still optimism about this group, though, is showcased by plays like what Kenrich Williams made. As cliche as it has been, the “Won’t Bow Down” moniker the team has adopted through social media this year has been appropriate this season. His extra effort led to a four-point play and a huge momentum swing.
