Valanciunas’ 30 points and 17 rebounds lead Pelicans to 124-112 victory over Hornets

The New Orleans Pelicans remain perfect on the season after beating the Charlotte Hornets by a final score of 124-112 Friday night.

And by perfect, I literally mean perfect.

Not only did they move to 2-0 in the Western Conference standings, they also haven’t trailed for a single second of the 96 minutes played thus far.

While the game in Brooklyn was never in doubt throughout its second half, the matchup in Charlotte was up for grabs. With 7:21 remaining in the fourth quarter, New Orleans clung to just a 96-94 advantage.
