Not much was expected of the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night. Without Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday against a Los Angeles Clippers team that had entered the game on a six game winning streak.

But the Pelicans hung around early thanks to some missed open looks from the Clipper and Eric Gordon took over the game to help the Pelicans come away with an incredible shorthanded 108-103 victory.
Other observations:
- What a wonderful win for New Orleans. With a tough stretch upcoming that features the Hawks, Thunder and Bulls the Pelicans found a way to steal a win they probably shouldn’t have had. In a tight playoff race every one of those type of wins matters.
- DeAndre Jordan just kind of ignored Omer Asik on the offensive end of the floor tonight and clogged up the lanes. Luckily Tyreke Evans did a great job of attacking Jordan to draw him away form the rim anyway before finding teammates for easy looks. It was great.
- The Pelicans return to action on Monday against a Hawks team that has won 18 in a row. New Orleans should lose, so expect a miracle win.
