Despite yet another slow start, the New Orleans Pelicans found their stride and coasted to a dominant win over the San Antonio Spurs by a final score of 107-90.
Just as we witnessed on Monday versus the Thunder, New Orleans couldn’t start with any rhythm following the opening tip. In the first six minutes of the game, the Pelicans deficit was quickly 13 points as they were able to convert just two field goals.
Although the offense picked up markedly in the second quarter — the team made 54.5% of their field goals, the Pelicans defense came to life, and it stayed on point until garbage time in the fourth quarter.
