Unselfish passing, balanced scoring making Pelicans a top-tier offensive team

PORTLAND – Josh Hart quickly dished a pass to Jrue Holiday in the left corner Friday, but in the blink of an eye, the ball immediately returned to Hart’s hands at the left wing, setting him up for a wide-open three-pointer. Swish.

Sequences like that have become commonplace for New Orleans in recent weeks, resulting in the Pelicans performing at an elite level offensively, leading the NBA in assists per game (28.7) since Christmas. Their nightly goal is to reach 30 assists, but lately that’s almost been too easy for the team from the Big Easy to achieve.
