The New Orleans Pelicans will welcome the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday evening.
Expect for The Blender to be rocking.
The Spurs have dominated matchups from an all-time perspective (19-51) and it’s been a particularly lopsided affair of late. The Pelicans have beaten Gregg Popovich’s squad just twice in their past 10 meetings, including a 112-97 loss earlier this season.
In that Dec. 12 matchup, the Pelicans were dismantled in the fourth quarter by a 15-29 margin, with the offense largely to blame.
“They just turned it up,” Willie Green said in postgame.
