For just the 4th time in 28 games, the Pelicans won by double digits over an opponent. In fact, their 26-point margin was easily their largest of the season, besting their 15-point win over the Mavericks back on November 10th. In addition, tonight marked the first time New Orleans had won two games or more in a row in over a month.
Their 9th win of the season was far from the prettiest, as evidenced by their own lackadaisical play during stretches, but New Orleans did more than enough to beat a very dilapidated Trail Blazer team.
