New Orleans halts four-game skid with win over the LA Clippers

The win against the LA Clippers halted a four-game slide for the New Orleans Pelicans, who improved to 18-48, 14th in the Western Conference.

The Pelicans have had it rough in the ongoing NBA campaign, that saw them lose 10 or more games straight in two separate occasions that considerably pushed them down.

Injuries to key cogs Zion Williamson, Dejounte Murray, Brandon Ingram and CJ McCollum in various stretches weighed heavily on their campaign, stymieing their ability to fully soar. Ingram was eventually traded to the Toronto Raptors before the deadline.

“It’s tough, it’s really tough. I mean, we had a lot of things not really go our way. But all you can do is make the most of the situation you’re in at the moment,” said Williamson of their campaign.

With the win on Tuesday over the Clippers, the Pelicans are hoping to build on it and chalk up more victories in their remaining 16 games to end their campaign on a more positive note.
