The New Orleans Pelicans didn't just win their game tonight; they made history with an offensive explosion. After halftime, the Pels erupted for a staggering 95 points in the second half alone.
This isn't just a hot streak—it's a rare feat that places them among the NBA's all-time great offensive performances. According to ESPN's Andrew Lopez, this marks only the fourth time in league history a team has scored 95 or more points in a single half.
The Pelicans join an exclusive club that includes the 1990 Phoenix Suns (107 in a first half), the 1970 Atlanta Hawks (97 in a second half), and the 1967 Philadelphia 76ers (95 in a second half). When a team finds that kind of rhythm, it's a spectacle of pure basketball execution, the kind of performance that defines seasons and gets fans on their feet.
