Rolling to start the preseason, the New Orleans Pelicans took their third consecutive victory on Friday night. With a raucous crowd in the Smoothie King Center, the Pelicans survived a 14-point Utah Jazz lead to find a way to win.
Last night, Utah did give the Pelicans their best fight of the preseason.
While the Chicago Bulls’ starting unit jumped out to a big lead on the Pelicans on Wednesday night, tonight’s game featured two talented teams playing highly competitive basketball.
With Jrue Holiday battling a leg contusion and missing last night’s game, Lonzo Ball was given the lead ball-handling role, a position he played with grace.
