After their impressive 107-91 road victory over the Dallas Mavericks, the New Orleans Pelicans end their two-game swing through Texas on Sunday with a matchup against the Houston Rockets.
The Pelicans defeated Dallas with their defense, holding the Mavs to 40.5 percent shooting just one game after the Mavericks roasted the Pelicans with a record-setting shooting performance.
New Orleans was even better on the perimeter, allowing just 10 three-pointers on 34 attempts from beyond the arc.
For a team as limited with personnel and experience as the Pelicans, there is only one path to victory.
