Pelicans (8-6), Hawks (2-12)
After trailing by as many as 14 points Monday, New Orleans roared back to take the lead and eventually hung on to defeat upset-minded Atlanta in a game that wasn’t decided until the final second of regulation. In the best performance of his NBA career, reserve forward Darius Miller drained four fourth-quarter three points and accounted for half of his team’s 28 points in that period. Meanwhile, DeMarcus Cousins threatened a triple-double with 22 points, 16 rebounds and seven assists.
Miller sank the go-ahead basket in the final minute, hitting a corner three-pointer to make it 106-105.
