On November 20th, the Pelicans shocked the NBA world. After starting the season with just a single win in their first eleven tries, they managed to knock off the Spurs in rather convincing fashion, 104-90. They played their most complete game to date, thoroughly dominating a legitimate championship contender in a number of facets. Anthony Davis was good (20 points/18 rebounds on 23 shots), but Ryan Anderson stole the show (30 points, 7 rebounds, 6 threes).
Admittedly, the Spurs were not yet terrifying the league. The loss to the Pelicans marked their third one on road in seven attempts.
