Pels/Spurs – The New Orleans Pelicans won two more games than the San Antonio Spurs during the regular season. But the 10th-place Spurs beat the ninth-place Pelicans three times in four head-to-head games.
The Southwest Division rivals are very evenly matched going into their Western Conference play-in elimination game Wednesday night in New Orleans.
The winner will play a road elimination game Friday against the loser of Tuesday’s game between the No. 7 Minnesota Timberwolves and the No. 8 Los Angeles Clippers.
“It’s extremely valuable for all of us, for a young group, myself as a young coach,” Pelicans first-year coach Willie Green said of the franchise’s first postseason game in four years. “We stayed together and stayed connected. The guys have earned the right to have an extended season.”
The Pelicans (36-46) have not had forward Zion Williamson, their leading scorer a year ago, all season because of foot surgery. They lost 12 of their first 13 games, but have had a winning record since then and have played much better since acquiring guard CJ McCollum in a trade with Portland in early February.
“It shows you how they stuck together, how they continued to fight through adversity, how much growth the team has had,” McCollum said after practice Tuesday. “I’m happy I could help get us into this position where we have a chance to get some postseason experience.”
Second-leading scorer Brandon Ingram (22.7) has missed 27 games this season, including the last three due to hamstring tightness. But he practiced fully Tuesday and expects to play Wednesday.
(Summary) (AP) Klay Thompson punctuated his regular season with a fist pump – a display of emotion stemming from far more than his latest flurry of fourth-quarter points.
Thompson made seven 3-pointers and scored a season-high 41 points for the Golden State Warriors, who landed the third seed in the Western Conference playoffs with a 128-107 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday night.
