Two home games into his career with New Orleans, Eric Bledsoe has shown a knack for delivering in the clutch. After blocking a shot to seal Sunday’s win over San Antonio last weekend, this time he buried a go-ahead three-pointer from the left corner Saturday, the decisive hoop of a win over Toronto. Bledsoe’s trey gave the Pelicans a 116-113 edge with 41 seconds left. New Orleans made free throws to ice the victory over the 2019 NBA champions.
New Orleans posted a second win in a 10-day span over Toronto, as the Pelicans swept a season series against the Raptors for the first time in six years.
