There’s no way the New Orleans Pelicans could win a basketball game after being outscored by 39 points from three point range, is there?
Apparently, there is.
The Pels survived a flurry of fourth quarter three-pointers to defeat the Indiana Pacers 117-113.
Indiana went 9 of 16 from beyond over the final 12 minutes to keep the Smoothie King Center crowd on the edge of their seats until the final moments.
With the victory, New Orleans improved to 11-11 at home and have won eight of 10 at The Blender.
Playing without Brandon Ingram, who is day-to-day with a right ankle injury, his teammates chipped in to provide the combination of skills that make Ingram a strong All-Star candidate this season.
