In a game that saw what appeared to be a million lead changes throughout, the Pelicans came away with a 123-114 victory over the fourth place Denver Nuggets. In their last matchup, the young and spry Nuggets blew New Orleans straight out of the water, winning the November 17th contest 146-114. This time around, while it was not a blow out by any stretch of the word, it was the Pelicans who came out on top.
Till the final two minutes the game was surely a nail-bitter. At the half, the game score was separated by one point (67-66) in favor of New Orleans.
