The Pelicans took the floor at the Smoothie King Center for the first time this season and edged the San Antonio Spurs to improve to 2-1 on the season, despite a rough shooting night.
Both teams got off to an awful start shooting the basketball, but New Orleans’ offense was almost non-existent in the first quarter. The Pelicans shot 1-for-12 from three in the period, and made just six shots in the first quarter.
A solid defensive effort kept the Pelicans in the game, and they took control of the game with an excellent performance in the third quarter. The Spurs got back into the game with a late 21-3 run, but the Pelicans held on to win 98-95.
