The New Orleans Pelicans have routinely played the San Antonio Spurs tough. Partly this can be explained by the Spurs staying big much of the time, allowing Anthony Davis to play as a power forward comfortably. Still, a 4-2 record coming into tonight over the last two years must be infuriating to San Antonio fans. This makes no sense!
The first half was a back and forth affair with neither team really seizing control. New Orleans fell behind nine at one point in the second quarter and it felt like like San Antonio could break it open.
