Last night, the New Orleans Pelicans garnered a 114-107 come-from-behind victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. With this, NOLA finds themselves holding the number seven seed out West (9-8 on the season). The contest saw many attention grabbing aspects to it, including Anthony Davis’ 36 point,15 rebound performance, Rajon Rondo’s Pelican high eight assists and Darius Millers continued success from beyond the three-point line (75% shooting). However, quite possibly the biggest “stand out” factoid of the night was DeMarcus Cousins’ third quarter ejection.
Upon grabbing a defensive rebound, DeMarcus Cousins raised his elbows, subsequently striking OKC point guard Russell Westbrook in the face.
