If one was to hazard a rough guess in hindsight, the Pelicans gameplan for the Timberwolves appeared to consist of making every shot.
Whether true or not, it proved to be an effective one. New Orleans rolled into town and all over their Minnesota opponent by a 122-106 margin as hot shooting throughout was the theme of the night.
In case you didn’t know, the road hasn’t been kind to the New Orleans Pelicans this season. The Pelicans were 6-18 away from the Smoothie King Center coming into Friday’s game and starting this four-game road trip with a win was imperative if the playoffs are still something possible to strive for.
