The New Orleans Pelicans took their winning ways onto the road against a good Atlanta Hawks team. New Orleans dominated though to win their third straight.
This “winning” thing is getting kind of fun for the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Pelicans have been playing very well as of late. Winning four of their last six games, the Pelicans seemed to have found their groove.
They proved that again tonight by going on the road and blowing out the Atlanta Hawks 112-94. The Pelicans were in charge from the beginning of the contest.
Hot shooting from Tim Frazier and E’Twaun Moore helped spark a 20-point advantage after the first quarter. The Pelicans ended up leading 34-14 after 12 minutes.
From there, they would lead the rest of the way. The Pelicans dominated this game from the outset and never let up.
The Pelicans continue to top their best games of the season each night out. This one will be hard to top though, since it comes with Anthony Davis missing most of the game.
For awhile, the win looked to be bittersweet. However, Davis would return in the 4th quarter, to ease Pelicans fans heart.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
Winners of three in a row, the New Orleans Pelicans have seemed to turn a corner. The return of Jrue Holiday has rejuvenated this team and it’s fanbase.
