The New Orleans Pelicans escaped with a victory in Chicago on Saturday night, edging out the Bulls in overtime, 96-90.
It must be mentioned that both teams were playing their second game in as many nights for the first time this season.
It showed — especially for New Orleans.
The Pelicans started the game looking extremely lethargic and fought hard to shake the cobwebs throughout; nowhere was this more apparent then on the glass. The Bulls finished with 16 offensive rebounds, in stark contrast to the Pelicans’ five.
Scoring didn’t come easy for anyone tonight either.
