A sluggish, low-scoring first half turned into an energetic, highly productive second half for New Orleans. After running out of gas after intermission earlier this week in losses at Washington and Miami, the Pelicans authored a significant second-half comeback of their own Friday, rallying from a 20-point deficit to surge past the Clippers.
IT WAS OVER WHEN…
New Orleans extended a late-game possession after Tomas Satoransky grabbed an offensive rebound and dribbled back out to the perimeter. The Pelicans didn’t score on the next play, but managed to bleed precious time off the clock that the Clippers needed.
