How it Happened
In a back-and-forth affair, the shorthanded Pelicans overcame a strong New York start for a 99-91 victory. The Knicks watched a 10-point lead disappear as they shot just 3 for 21 in the third quarter -- at one point missing 14 consecuctive shots.
Carmelo Anthony would make his first four attempts in the fourth quarter to tie the game at 75, but Jrue Holiday scored 10 of his 22 points to carry New Orleans down the stretch.
Knick of the Night
Kristaps Porzingis attempted just 10 shots, but the rookie made an impact in all facets of the game: He made his first three shots and scored seven of his 16 points in the first quarter, adding 10 rebounds and three blocks for his third double-double in the last four games.
