#1 Red hot shooting from the 3 by the Pelicans
New Orleans Pelicans swept the Timberwolves out of the game with their red-hot 3-point shooting streak in this game. They came in red hot and stayed hot throughout the game, and there was just no chance for the Timberwolves to do anything but to succumb to the pressure of scoring such consistent 3s to match-up to the Pelicans.
Almost everyone was shooting a 3 and trying to contribute in this Anthony Davis-less Pelicans They made 14 3s out of a total of 25. They shot at an efficiency of a whopping 56% which is clearly not normal for any team. And in any game a team shoots like that, it is almost always bound to win.
