#TankFlight is finally upon us. Yet, this feels like a game that the Pelicans are going to win... Right?
The two matchups between the Pelicans and Kings this season have presented a steep contrast in narratives. In mid-January, a healthy New Orleans roster (by healthy I mean Tyreke Evans, Eric Gordon, Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday all suited up), stormed into Sleep Train Arena and rode some hot outside shooting to a 109-97 victory.
Fast forward two weeks later, and a bruised and battered Pelicans team (no Davis, no Evans, no Gordon), outlasted the seemingly bipolar Kings 114-105 behind the shooting prowess of Ryan Anderson.
