The New Orleans Pelicans are a team built to run. Jrue Holiday is capable of threading picture perfect passes through multiple defenders to Anthony Davis for highlight reel slam dunks, Tyreke Evans can run (and outrun) the best of them in the open floor and Ryan Anderson and Eric Gordon can trail and make defenses pay for forgetting about them behind the line. The Pelicans are built to run, or so they say.
Per NBA.com stats, the three best months for the New Orleans Pelicans in regards to net rating have been December, January and April, and those three months also happen to represent the slowest paces the Pelicans have played at all season.
