Thanks to a 68-point outburst in the second half, the New Orleans Pelicans put away the San Antonio Spurs by a final score of 117-99, and in doing so, notched several notable achievements.
Before tonight, one had to go all the way back to the 2017-18 season to find the last time that the Pelicans won eight times in a ten-game stretch. However, everyone should remember that moment from over four years ago — New Orleans won 10 games in a row, tying their biggest winning streak in franchise history.
Perhaps just as impressive, the Pelicans had previously never beaten the Spurs twice on their home floor in the same regular season.
