They never like to make it easy for themselves, do they?
The Pelicans led the Celtics by as many as 15 points tonight in the Smoothie King Center and seemed like a lock to cruise to their second win of the season. Instead New Orleans watched that double digit lead disappear entirely and needed some late, clutch free throw shooting from Anthony Davis and Tim Frazier to put out the fire they were playing with all fourth quarter long. Ultimately no harm was done as the Pelicans held on and picked up a rare commodity this season: a win.
