Trailing by as many as 24 points on the day, the Pelicans pulled off the largest comeback in franchise history by knocking off Boston in overtime, 120-115.
A lifeless first half saw the Celtics have their way with New Orleans, opening up a 24-point lead midway through the third quarter after leading by double digits for most of the second quarter. But the Pelicans chipped the lead down to 13 points by the end of the third period, setting up an exciting fourth.
In the final period, New Orleans came roaring back before trading big shots down the stretch between Brandon Ingram, Zion Williamson and Jayson Tatum in the final minutes. Eventually, the two teams would head to overtime where New Orleans pulled away late to earn the biggest win of the season.
Ingram finished with 33 points, Williamson added 28, Josh Hart finished with 17 and Lonzo Ball had 16. Tatum tallied 32 for Boston.
