Somehow, the incredibly short-handed New Orleans Pelicans almost had a chance to defeat the top-seeded Golden State Warriors on Friday night.

It was a game that was played until the very last buzzer and which unfortunately did not go the Pelicans’ way. Brandon Ingram had a chance to hit a game-winning shot, but ultimately passed it to Trey Murphy III. Murphy’s shot was harder than Ingram’s and he ended up missing, leading to the Pelicans’ loss.

The final moment of the match haunted Ingram after the match because he knew he should have taken the last shot.

“I should have shot the damn ball,” Ingram said after the game.

Ingram had 18 points, 7 assists and 3 rebounds on 44/29/50 shooting from the field. Despite being the team’s star player, Murphy was the hot hand that night and it wasn’t a terrible decision to let him take the last shot. Murphy had 24 points at 5/9 shooting from deep, he just couldn’t make the final three-pointer of the night.

As the Pelicans fell to the Warriors, their record fell to 4-13. They are on a four-game losing streak and are the 14th seed in the Western Conference. No one could have predicted that the team would struggle this much after acquiring Dejounte Murray, but injuries have not been kind to the Pelicans.

The New Orleans Pelicans’ next opponent will be the Indiana Pacers on November 25.
