Wow, just WOW!
With Mardi Gras in full swing and Endymion rolling tonight, all of New Orleans was already swimming in festive vibes, but then the New Orleans Pelicans tapped on the shoulder and said, “Hold my beer.”
Trailing by as many as 19 points, the Anthony Davis-less crew pulled off their most surprising comeback of the season, knocking off the Denver Nuggets, 120-112.
Prior to the game, Las Vegas oddsmakers listed New Orleans as 13.5 underdogs, and in the early goings, they were absolutely on target. The Nuggets blitzed the Pelicans in the first quarter, racing out to a 39-22 lead.
