After a devastating loss on National TV to the Phoenix Suns, the New Orleans Pelicans responded with a road victory against the Denver Nuggets 130-125. Anthony Davis led the charge with 27 points, while Tyreke Evans, Jrue Holiday and Eric Gordon each had 20 points of their own.
In a back-and-forth shooting spree, the Nuggets and the Pelicans both shot over 50% from the field and lit up the gym back and forth all night. At the end of the game, however, the New Orleans Pelicans were the ones that found the stops they needed to finish the game ahead, thanks in good part to their work on their defensive rebounding.
