The starless Clippers fall to the Brandon Ingram led Pelicans advance to the #8 seed in the western conference to play the Phoenix Suns in the first round. With Paul George entering health and safety protocols Thursday night, the favor swung to the Pelicans’ side and New Orleans took advantage of that.
