Bring out the confetti and get ready for a three-day parade in the Big Easy! Because the New Orleans finally broke into the win column after beating the Charlotte Hornets, 116-112, at Smoothie King Center on Tuesday.
The Pelicans, who played without Zion Williamson due to a hamstring injury , lost their first six assignments before getting their first victory of the season.
Things were not looking good for them heading into the fourth quarter as they were down, 93-87. But they rallied and outscored the Hornets, 29-19, to seal the deal.
New Orleans fired on all cylinders, with eight players finishing in double digits, led by Trey Murphy, who had 21 points built on 5-of-10 shooting from beyond the arc.
Fans were ecstatic after the Pelicans finally ended their losing skid.
