The New Orleans Pelicans continued their home winning streak against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday — making it seven straight wins — with a 123-101 victory. Four of the five starters scored 24-plus points, and for the first time in franchise history, three players totaled 29 or more.
Saturday’s win evened the Pelicans record at 3-3, but for a team that has thoroughly disappointed over the last two seasons, tonight marked a notable achievement. The last time New Orleans sat exactly at .500 in-season occurred back on February 20th, 2015!
DeMarcus Cousins headed the attack, recording his first triple-double as a Pelican and the 7th of his career with 29 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.
