The last time the Phoenix Suns and New Orleans Pelicans faced off, Louisiana’s favorite NBA team was embarrassed on national television in a 111-86 blowout.
It’s not clear how many expected a different result on Wednesday evening, but the Pelicans put together a complete-game effort of their own on display, winning in lopsided fashion, 123-101.
It wasn’t always pretty, and Phoenix made their share of runs, but New Orleans responded each time in arguably their most balanced and impressive victory of the season.
Probably the pelicans best top to bottom win of the season, from defense to passing.
