The New Orleans Pelicans are back in action tonight as they host the suddenly streaking Minnesota Timberwolves.
While it’s no murderers’ row, the Wolves have won three straight games in beating the Kings, Spurs and Grizzlies. Their lopsided 138-95 victory versus Memphis this past Saturday particularly stands out because the Pelicans have been smashed coming out of the gates in their last two games.
The Wolves rolled the Grizz in the first half, waking into halftime with a 72-43 lead. Anthony Edwards got the party started with 17 of his 23 points in the first quarter — going 5-5 from 3-point range.
