The New Orleans Pelicans (39-28) have never enjoyed any sustained success against the San Antonio Spurs (38-30). From among the 58 total regular season meetings, the Spurs have walked away victorious in 42 of those contests and the Pelicans have never won more than two consecutive games.
Until possibly now.
With a win over the Silver and Black on Thursday evening, the Pelicans would enjoy their first three-game winning streak over the Spurs. Cool, for sure, however, as you’re probably well aware, all eyes will be focused on a much bigger prize.
Another win over San Antonio this season means New Orleans would own a potentially important tiebreaker.
