In their last game against the Golden State Warriors, the Pelicans put up an impressive 141 points with an extraordinary first quarter where they scored 46 points. Their offensive efficiency was through the roof with a true shooting percentage of 69 and an effective field goal percentage of 68. They dominated every aspect of the game, leading for nearly its entirety and boasting a largest lead of 41 points.


Prior to that victory, they faced off against Sacramento Kings and once again came out on top with a strong performance resulting in 133 points. Their scoring was consistent throughout all quarters, and they maintained control with a biggest lead reaching an astonishing 50 points. The team's shooting accuracy was remarkable; hitting 61 percent from the field and converting half of their three-point attempts.


However, it's not just about scoring for this team; defensively they've been solid as well. Against both opponents, they managed to keep defensive ratings just above one point per possession which is commendable given their high-paced style of play.


The upcoming match will be challenging as altitude might play its role in Denver but based on recent performances; fans can expect another thrilling display from their Pelicans who seem unstoppable when it comes to putting up big numbers on offense while maintaining enough defensive pressure to secure wins.


The action unfolds at Ball Arena this Saturday night at midnight Central Time (1:00 AM Eastern Time). Fans won't want to miss this high-flying encounter which will be broadcasted nationally on ESPN channel 206 or locally via WVUE channel for those cheering from New Orleans.
