The question sitting at the forefront of all fans’ minds coming into tonight’s matchup: How would the New Orleans Pelicans respond after getting throttled by the Dallas Mavericks on their home court a few days ago?
Judging by the winning 107-91 box score, the Pelicans earned an A grade, but the execution of the game plan was a beautiful sight to behold.
Garrett Temple, Herb Jones and, at times, Brandon Ingram did about as well as one could hope against a player of Luka Doncic’s caliber. He finished with 21 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and seven turnovers.
