Halloween night was set up for a true trick-or-treat for fans of the New Orleans Pelicans, especially with the Nikola Jokic (the Joker!) and his Denver Nuggets rolling into town. Not tricked out of their first win of the campaign, the Pelicans delivered a very great treat on Thursday.
Already a boost to their unit was Jrue Holiday‘s return to the starting lineup after two games dealing with a left knee sprain. It was his presence that really got the team and ball moving to start the night against Denver.
