The New Orleans Pelicans beat the Phoenix Suns, 120-119, in overtime in Phoenix, Arizona Sunday night on the second half of a back-to-back in a disjointed effort from both teams. Jrue Holiday made an and-1 runner to give the Pelicans the lead with about 2:50 in overtime and his free throws the rest of the way iced the game for Nola. Holiday totaled 23 points in 39 minutes, his most court time thus far this season.
Holiday actually spent much of the night struggling until he broke loose from frustrating fouls and missed 3-pointers to score 16 points in the fourth quarter and overtime.
