The New Orleans Pelicans rode their defense and rebounding to a sloppy 98-95 win over the San Antonio Spurs.
It wasn’t pretty, but the New Orleans Pelicans were able to hold on and get a win over the San Antonio Spurs to go 2-1 on the season.
The Pelicans shot just 20.8 percent from 3-point range and only 38.3 percent overall but were able to grind out a victory behind some timely defense and rebounding.
