With Friday’s 101-94 victory over the 76ers, the Pelicans once again proved they can beat the highest caliber of opponent. Among the current eight best records in the Association, they have registered a win over seven of them.
Only one other team can make the same claim and incidentally they’re the lone squad missing from New Orleans’ resume: the Brooklyn Nets.
The Pelicans are loaded with potential and we’ve bore witness to this common thought against the NBA elite. Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram are two of the most impactful players around despite their youthful ages, and the duo is surrounded by other developing talent that’s shown more than just glimpses.
