The Pelicans hung in there, but LeBron posted a triple double and the Cavs knotted the series. But despite having stolen homecourt advantage, and holding their own against the champs, the Pelicans were visibly dejected after the game, after hearing that Anthony Davis would miss the rest of the playoffs with a knee injury. That's all folks.
