New Orleans was without its All-Star forward and No. 1 overall draft pick, but the Pelicans still found a way to win on the road. For the 10th time in its last 14 games, New Orleans emerged victorious in an away game, outplaying Indiana in the final few minutes, with its guards connecting on a series of baskets to take control. Despite not having leading scorer Brandon Ingram or second-leading point producer Zion Williamson, the Pelicans tallied 60-plus points in both halves.
IT WAS OVER WHEN…
Jrue Holiday bagged a stepback three-pointer from the left wing to give New Orleans an eight-point lead with 44 seconds left.
