“I don’t believe what I just saw!” — immediately echoed inside my head upon the final buzzer sounding in the Pelicans 140-136 victory over the Timberwolves in overtime.
To be fair, the Los Angeles Dodgers winning Game 1 of the 1988 World Series on the back of a heroic Kirk Gibson home run was a far greater event, one that I certainly will never forget, but watching this New Orleans team mount a 4th quarter comeback and win going away in the extra period was cause for real celebration.
The Pelicans were down by 10 points with 4:22 left in regulation.
