Postgame wrap: Pelicans 121, Clippers 117 | New Orleans Pelicans
LOS ANGELES – It had been nearly three months since New Orleans won a road game against a Western Conference opponent. Given how much of the Pelicans’ remaining schedule consists of those matchups, it was imperative that changed as soon as possible. New Orleans delivered Monday in Southern California, knocking off the Clippers in Staples Center, to even its record at 1-1 on a pivotal five-game road trip. The Pelicans took a 20-point lead in the third quarter, before the Clippers stormed back, making it a tight affair in the final minutes.
