Some Pelicans Lose to the Rockets
Some guys wore Pelicans’ jerseys tonight and played a preseason game against the Houston Rockets. You may have recognized a few, but with Anthony Davis, Tyreke Evans, Omer Asik, Alexis Ajinca, and a bunch more in street clothes you probably didn’t recognize most of the team.
