The fourth seeded Pelicans faced the 20th seeded Wizards in the octofinals of the NBA Las Vegas Summer League tournament. In an interesting sub-plot, head coach Darren Erman was not in attendance. Instead, team assistant coach Robert Pack coached the team. *Spoiler* It didn't matter. The Pelicans won every single quarter tonight.
First Quarter
In the first quarter, Pelicans stormed right out the gates, scoring 25 points.
Larry Drew II came out on fire, scoring passing, and running the offense like a pro. Khem Birch had a monster first quarter.
