The New Orleans Pelicans entered Game 4 of their first-round playoff with a chance to close out the Portland Trail Blazers in a sweep. This has placed a great amount of tension and intensity between both sides with what is at stake on Saturday afternoon.
In the final second of the second quarter, Pelicans veteran point guard Rajon Rondo got involved in a little scuffle with rookie big man Zach Collins that caused the referees to separate them.
Rondo has built a reputation over the years as being a feisty player on the court that has a tendency of stirring things up over the years. This was simply a moment that he used to get under Collins' skin and get him out of sorts in a crucial game.
The Pelicans have had their way with the Trail Blazers taking command with each game with their pace of play and defense causing the backcourt duo of Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum to struggle to find any consistency with their shot. Rondo has been in the middle of that will his play on both ends of the court showing his veteran leadership and experience.
With the chance to close out the series, Rondo could once again be a major factor in helping his team reach the second round.
