The New Orleans Pelicans two halves were about as different as CatDog tonight.
In the first half, the Pels gave up an astonishing 75 points. They turned the ball over 9 times and allowed the Pacers to move the ball all over the court.
DeMarcus Cousins’ defensive effort was lacking, leading to many easy buckets for the Indiana Pacers and Jrue Holiday continued to have a marginal impact offensively.
Luckily for NOLA, games are longer than 24 minutes. In the second half, the Pacers shot much worse, the Pelicans turned the ball over only three times, and Anthony Davis continued to dominate in 40+ minutes on the court.
