Who knows how they’ll notch the victory tomorrow, but the New Orleans Pelicans just keep winning. The Pelicans, who were the hottest three-point shooting team in December, now sport a top ten defense this month.
The Pelicans are led by breakout MVP-candidate Anthony Davis, and yet, Sunday’s victory was largely spearheaded by the “washed up” Rajon Rondo, who posted a +22 in the second half, and the wildly overpaid Jrue Holiday. The same Holiday who single-handedly managed the Pelicans’ offense for large spurts on his way to a 36-9-6 line, and oh did we forget to mention, played lockdown defense on Giannis Antetokounmpo.
