Bully ball was back in the Smoothie King Center for at least one night. After Alvin Gentry was ejected for arguing an incorrect call on a Chris Paul swing through Darren Erman took the reigns and did his best Monty Williams impression. The result? The New Orleans Pelicans outscored the Los Angeles Clippers 53-42 in the second half and pulled out a big 102-98 win to pull to 3-1 on this important home stand.
Gentry was correct in arguing the call. The swing through was ruled to be a non-shooting foul after Kevin Durant made an absolute killing off it for years in Oklahoma City.
