Hits and Flops: New Orleans Pelicans vs Portland Trail Blazers | NBA

Flop - Pelicans bench unit

Nikola Mirotic had an inefficient game for the Pelicans

The Pelicans did not get much production from their bench unit tonight. None of their bench players offered much to the team.

The Pelicans bench unit got outscored by the Trail Blazers bench unit by a scoreline of 42-25.

Mirotic led the Pelicans bench unit with 13 points on 3-10 shooting from the floor. None of the other bench players scored more than 5 points.

Darius Miller shot 1-5 from the field and scored only 5 points for the match. In total, the Pelicans bench unit combined to shoot 7-25 from the field.

This kind of performance from the second unit is never going to win matches in a tough road game.

Mirotic has been sensational for the Pelicans this year despite suffering from injuries. The Pelicans will be hoping for better performances from all of their bench players as they badly need to put together a string of victories to survive in the West.
