What was a tightly contested battle early on in the game quickly turned into a one-sided affair after halftime. The Pelicans caught fire shooting from behind the arc, finishing the game 17-31 from long range. With a 10-point lead entering the fourth quarter, New Orleans just needed to keep the petal to the metal to hold on. They did just that.
Ryan Anderson stole the show in the shooting department, finishing the game with 23 points and six made three-pointers. The Bucks were lead by the combo of sharpshooter Khris Middleton and big man Greg Monroe.
