The New Orleans Pelicans hung on to beat the San Antonio Spurs despite using only eight players.
It wasn’t pretty but the New Orleans Pelicans were able to grind out a 98-95 win over the division rival San Antonio Spurs in the first home game of the season.
It was an ugly game from the start, with both teams looking like they’d had too much egg nog but the Pelicans were able to overcome some cold shooting early on to take a halftime lead.
