Nickeil Alexander-Walker shines in Pelicans’ 127-125 victory over Chicago

Last night looked like it might have bleak results for the New Orleans Pelicans through the first three quarters until Nickeil Alexander-Walker turned on the jets.

With the team trailing by as many as 23-points on the road against the Chicago Bulls, the 21-year-old rookie played fantastic basketball in a fourth quarter that ended up being completely dominated by the Pelicans.

Finishing tied with Jahlil Okafor for the second-most points from a Pelicans player last night, Alexander-Walker finished with 13 points, including a pair of free throws with 57.6 seconds left to give the Pelicans their 126th and 127th points of the night.
