The New Orleans Pelicans did something agains the Celtics that they haven’t done much of this year, which is win a close game.
After a lackluster first half in which the Pels barely came out of the locker room, they came roaring back in the second, winning both the third and fourth quarters before finally beating the Celtics in overtime.
It was the type of win that can turn a season around, as the Pelicans showed more heart and defensive intensity than they have all season.
