Pelicans hope to exact revenge from Nuggets

NEW ORLEANS -- It might have been the low-water mark of the season for the New Orleans Pelicans.

On Nov. 15 in Denver, the Nuggets blasted the Pelicans 146-114, including an 82-point second half that came one game after they scored 82 in a game against Portland.

In the blowout victory, the Nuggets shot 62.9 percent from the floor, their best percentage since 2012, and made 18 of 35 attempts from long range. They also recorded a season-high 37 assists, and their starting five combined for 101 points.

Jamal Murray scored 31 points, and backcourt mate Gary Harris made 9 of 11 from the field, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range, on his way to 22 points.
