The Pelicans faced a hungry Clippers team on a two-game losing streak, looking for a pick me up, and New Orleans inconsistencies with effort, defense, and ball security appeared to be just what the doctor had ordered. As frequently seen this season, the Pelicans went through stretches where they looked quite dominant, and had others where they looked lost or a bit uninterested. Nights like these often ended in losses for the Pelicans.
Monday night ended in a spectacular 121-117 win.
Led by a ridiculous 46 points from Anthony Davis and a pummeling 27 from Julius Randle, the Pelicans answered the call every time it seemed the Clippers were ready to grab hold of the matchup.
