Darrell Arthur tied his career-high with 24 but the rest of the Nuggets could not take advantage as the patchwork Pelicans put them away in New Orleans
Both the Denver Nuggets and the New Orleans Pelicans played last night and it showed, but the Pelicans had more energy late and kept both their composure and their counter-punching stamina in a game that featured 27 lead changes and ended with New Orleans walking away the victor, 101-95.
The referees let the players plan on for the most part, with 26 free throws between the two teams, and several members of the beleaguered Pelicans squad responded to the three-point and fast-break flow of the game.
