The New Orleans Pelicans (12-12) sit exactly where they did one year ago following a decisive ten-point victory over the short-handed Charlotte Hornets. Led by Anthony Davis’ impressive stat line (36/19/8), the Pelicans led nearly throughout, and Alvin Gentry was able to pull the starters with just over four minutes to play.
While the Pelicans finished their game at an earlier than usual time, their opponent tomorrow night, the Los Angeles Clippers, were forced to tangle with the Dallas Mavericks an additional few hours into the night.
