Postgame wrap: Nuggets 105, Pelicans 99 | New Orleans Pelicans
For the second straight night, New Orleans reconfigured starting lineup and rotation played toe-to-toe against one of the Western Conference’s best teams, but this time it wasn’t enough to pull off a victory. After stunning the Rockets in Houston on Tuesday, the Pelicans had a chance late against Denver on the Smoothie King Center floor, but the visitors finished with a 5-0 spurt to seal the victory. Jrue Holiday sank a stepback three-pointer to make it 100-99 with 1:32 to go, prior to Denver center Nikola Jokic spinning his way to consecutive layups.
