The New Orleans Pelicans were able to battle back from a 20 point deficit, but they were unable to complete the comeback. Anthony Davis did not play in the second half due to him suffering an injury to his left knee, and the Pelicans put in a great effort despite missing their superstar. The second half was crazy and featured a clothesline by Kendrick Perkins (resulting in him getting ejected), a vicious dunk by Ryan Anderson and some clutch shots from Jrue Holiday. The Blazers were able to keep them at bay, ultimately, but the team can build on this performance.
