The New Orleans Pelicans continued their climb towards more ping balls after getting completely outclassed by the far superior Toronto Raptors. The Raptors were in charge of the game from the outset as the large talent gap was evident by the Pelicans half court struggles. It is hard to even get upset at this blowout lost as it was inevitable. The Pels who have been surprisingly competitive that last couple of games could do nothing to slow down the Raptors as their depth wore the Pelicans defense down. The end of the season could not come any quicker for the Pelicans who are stumbling across the finish line.
