Just when you thought you’ve seen all the surprises the 2016-17 Pelicans have to offer, they pulled their biggest one out of the rabbit hole yet.
New Orleans shocked the Cleveland Cavaliers Monday night by a final score of 124-122. What’s even more surprising is that they beat the defending champions without Anthony Davis in the lineup. Winning with AD was hard enough, but presumably close to impossible without him.
Luckily, other Pels carried the slack and gave the Pels the W they so desperately needed to stay in the thick of the standings race (the Nuggets lost the day before against the Timberpups).
