Dreams of a miracle run to the NBA playoffs for the New Orleans Pelicans ended last night.
The New Orleans Pelicans put up one of the best offensive performances in the franchise history. New Orleans had 75 points in the first half, which ties the franchise record. They also season high for points tonight, with 131.
However, their defense did not do them favors. While the Pelicans’ shot 51 percent from the field, they let Denver shoot 53.5 percent. While the teams went even on shooting, the Nuggets held a strong advantage on the glass. Denver finished with 15 offensive rebounds and a 50-35 edge in boards during the game.
