The team's prowess was not just a one-off occurrence; they maintained this high level in their next game against the Brooklyn Nets, winning comfortably with a score of 112-85. The Pelicans controlled the game from start to finish, never allowing Brooklyn any lead time. Their defensive efforts were notable as well, holding their opponents to an offensive rating of just over 86 while posting an impressive defensive rating themselves.


Continuing this trend, they faced off against Los Angeles Lakers and once again came out on top with a scoreline that read like a basketball enthusiast's dream: 129-109. They managed an even higher true shooting percentage than before at 65 percent and improved their offensive points per possession to approximately 1.29.


These statistics paint a picture of a team in fine form both offensively and defensively as they head into another home game at Smoothie King Center—a venue where they've recently thrived.


The upcoming match is scheduled for January 6th at Smoothie King Center in New Orleans.
