All year, the Pelicans were the brash, fearless team determined to exorcise their demons of the past. As they stare down a potential first-round sweep, the team we've seen in the playoffs is unrecognizable. But the ending of this story feels too familiar

Tweet card media

On the verge of being swept, Pelicans lose their swagger against Thunder

Brandon Ingram has been ineffective in this series and New Orleans has lost its swagger against Oklahoma City.
