When the New Orleans Pelicans embarked on their current five-game Western road trip, it came after a demoralizing home loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
It was important, Pelicans guard Anthony Morrow and forward Al-Farouq-Aminu said, to keep their spirits up.
After All-Star second-year power forward Anthony Davis’ shoulder was injured in Wednesday’s loss at Dallas, it remains to be seen if the Pelicans can do that. Starting the road trip with another setback, the Pelicans (23-34) have lost five consecutive games.
