The New Orleans Pelicans entered tonight’s matchup against the Sacramento Kings having won all eight of their matchups this season when scoring 65 points or more in the first half.
They led the Kings 70-52 at halftime.
If that’s not enough evidence of an impending victory, the first few minutes of the third quarter should have eased any remaining concerns among the doubters.
The Pelicans amassed 12 points on their first five possessions, with Trey Murphy hitting a couple of 3-pointers and making all of his free throws after getting fouled on another deep attempt.
