The New Orleans Pelicans are off to their best start since 2011-12, but I want you to forget about wins and losses for a moment because starting a season with a 2-0 record doesn’t guarantee much of anything. Rather, please focus your attention on the final scores, specifically the point differentials, because big variances — even two games in — tell a very interesting and exciting story.
While many were impressed by the 131 points scored against the Houston Rockets and the 149 points versus the Sacramento Kings (which topped the old franchise-mark for most points in a game by ten), those numbers alone fail to adequately describe the significance of the Pelicans two victories.
