Entering tonight’s matchup, New Orleans had only one perfect four-game road trip in franchise history — where they walked away sweeping the entire slate of contests with wins. The Pelicans came oh so close to accomplishing the feat for a second time, but ultimately, the Toronto Raptors prevailed on the strength of four key perimeter jumpers in the final 3:21 of the game to win going away, 122-118.
After viewing this highly entertaining battle, one would have sworn today must have been opposite day.
Although Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins combined for 38 points, 22 rebounds and seven assists, the duo shot just 36.
