The New Orleans Pelicans routed the San Antonio Spurs on the last night of their seven-game homestand at the AT&T Center, dominating from wire to wire as the officiating crew ejected head coach Gregg Popovich for the first time this season. It was a forgettable outing from the good guys, one they won’t want to revisit anytime soon.
Devin Vassell was the only offensive sparkplug in the starting lineup as he led the Silver and Black with 18 points. Dejounte Murray notched 17 points and nine rebounds, though his uncharacteristically poor shooting and five turnovers overshadowed his impressive numbers.
