The Pelicans thrashed the warriors at home 119-100 in their first home game of the western conference semi finals, bringing the series against the resigning champs to 2-1. That means no matter what, New Orleans has booked a ticket back to California to keep the series alive. The Brow was massive in the game, with 33 points and 18 rebounds, leading the team in both categories. But Davis didn’t just lead the team on the boxscore, reports say he roused New Orleans before the game with a simple message, “We’re not losing this game”.
Cut 21
Game four tips off at 2:30 tomorrow, with game five in Oakland on Tuesday at 9:30.
And today is the Kentucky Derby. The owner of the Pelicans and Saints, Gayle Benson, has a horse in the race. Lone Sailor is one of the biggest long shots to win. The jockey will be James Graham and the horse drew the eighth post.
