Only the New Orleans Pelicans can blow out the Los Angeles Clippers and, a few games later, go to overtime against one of the worst teams in the NBA.
Ultimately, the Pelicans beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 140-136 in overtime in what was actually a hard-fought game. Maybe some of you will argue with my denomination of where the Timberwolves are as a team and that’s fair enough.
You can say that they have struggled with injuries and Covid-19 all season long, that they changed their head coach, and that they have barely had their two main stars available.
