New Orleans made a franchise-best 16 three-pointers at nearly a 60% clip and they needed every single one of them. Tyreke Evans made a career-best 5, missing one lone attempt. Jrue Holiday knocked down 5 of 7, including a make from half court at the first quarter buzzer. Dante Cunningham made both of his looks, and Anthony Davis made 1 of 3, a shot that bounced off the rim, then the backboard, before rolling in much like a free throw.
Joel Meyers said it best in his post-game comments. In essence, the Pelicans need to save tonight's stat sheet because it's not going to happen all that often.
