The New Orleans Pelicans needed something positive. They came into Monday night’s game losers of six straight and off one of the most bizarre and disappointing losses on Saturday night to the Phoenix Suns.
Key stat of the game…
34. The Pelicans came into the game fourth in the NBA in team assists at 27.1 per game. Led by point guard Elfrid Payton (more on him later) who finished with a game-high 11 assists. In fact every Pelicans player who played at least 10 minutes had at least 2 assists in the game.
