For Pelicans and Bucks, there were lessons in Game 1 losses

New Orleans and Milwaukee were facing long odds before the postseason even began, and now the task of advancing in the NBA playoffs seems considerably more daunting. The Pelicans and Bucks will try to even their respective first-round series on Monday night, with eighth-seeded New Orleans visiting top-seeded Golden State in Game 2 of a Western Conference matchup and sixth-seeded Milwaukee going into Chicago for Game 2 of an East series against the third-seeded Bulls.
