Pelicans survive late game LeBron, snap losing streak with 114-108 victory over Cavaliers

A win. An overtime win!

So I'll leave you with what I started writing right before LeBron James went supernova:

"I think it's safe to say that tonight's performance was one of the better ones this year, no? New Orleans' defense really kicked up in the third quarter, but I found the intensity beginning to kick in the first quarter. After Cleveland's 6-6 start from the field, they went 3-11 to end the quarter. Some of that was J.R. Smith magic early from Cleveland, but New Orleans' defense did really well in the first and that contributed in climbing out of an early hole.
