You should remember this team from New York.
Last week, the Pelicans were flying high with three straight victories before faltering against the Minnesota Timberwolves, 107-100. Two nights later, there were the Knicks jumping all over the plummeting Pels, with a 19-point advantage early in the second period in front of an aghast Smoothie King Center.
New Orleans was facing a frightening storyline.
In a desperate year for the franchise, the Pelicans, led by 17 second quarter points from Anthony Davis, would storm back. They pulled within three (84-81) following a 14-footer by their superstar in the third quarter, but the Knicks would respond as they did all game with a 10-3 run.
