The New Orleans Pelicans took care of business Tuesday evening, beating the Houston Rockets by a final score of 110-97.
The victory was New Orleans’ fourth in a row, tying their season-best run, and ensured that they would hang onto sole possession of 10th in the Western Conference standings.
The Portland Trail Blazers, who entered the day .5 games behind the Pelicans, have a matchup tonight against the Orlando Magic.
Out of the gates, one wasn’t sure of a positive outcome for New Orleans. They began the game seemingly in a post-trade daze.
