Every time you get ready to count the New Orleans Pelicans out, every time you’re ready to swear to never let them do it to you again, the Pelicans get off the mat, and come out for another round.
New Orleans shot 11-of-15 from the floor in the fourth quarter, with Herb Jones going a perfect 6-of-6 from the floor, including making both of his three-point attempts and all four of his free throws, to hold off the Denver Nuggets, 113-105.

His 18 points in the fourth quarter are the third-most by any Pelicans rookie in a single period.
