Pelicans dismantle the T'Wolves, winning by 48.
They were actually up by 53 in the 4th Q and that's with Asik and UniBrow on the bench.
Quote:
Behind an incredible opening-half offensive performance, the Pelicans began establishing records in the first quarter (team-record 43 points) and never let up from there. Some of the other franchise-bests included:
- Most points in a half, 80. Four different Pelicans reached double digits by intermission, led by Anthony Davis’ 16 points. Eight New Orleans players tallied six points or more.
- Highest field-goal percentage in a half, 72.1. The Pelicans made 31 of 43 shots from the floor, including absurd 8-for-9 accuracy from three-point range
- Highest field-goal percentage in a game, 66.7. New Orleans made exactly two-thirds of its 84 attempts.
- Most points in a game, 139. New Orleans scored 43, 37 and 38 points in the first three quarters, respectively, to build a 118-72 entering the final dozen minutes.
- Margin of victory, 48. New Orleans was in front by as many as 53 points over Minnesota.
- Three-pointers in a game, 15 (tying the team record). The Pelicans shot even better from three-point range than inside the arc, connecting on 15 of 20 tries.

The disparity in the NBA is such a joke. The NHL is much more even, any team can win on any night. NBA I would bet my mortgage on a Golden State vs Sixers game right now
