NEW ORLEANS – He’s not Michael Jordan, nor is he Jamal Crawford.
But in Sunday’s fourth quarter New Orleans former 10-day contract signee Jordan Crawford was plenty to help beat the Timberwolves 123-109 at Smoothie King Center.
Crawford made consecutive three-pointers and scored eight consecutive points for the Pelicans early in the fourth quarter after the Wolves had overcome New Orleans’ 20-6 third-quarter run to pull within two points in the fourth quarter’s opening seconds.
His scoring burst on a night he finished with 22 points off the bench pushed away a Wolves team that could never get closer than three points again.
