The New Orleans Pelicans knew Operation Youth Movement would be in full effect after the All-Star break. What they may not have realized is how well the young core would play. Saturday night’s game perfectly highlighted this.
Key stat of the game…
42. After a disappointing ending the previous night, the Pelicans believed they would be in a battle against a Lakers team desperate to make the playoffs. To add further complications, the Pels would be without Anthony Davis who would be resting due to the back to back games. The Pelicans came out and responded nicely.
