Photos: Pelicans defeat Atlanta Hawks by 22 points on Halloween
The recipe that produced the New Orleans Pelicans’ first victory of the season worked for a second consecutive game.
The Pelicans mixed together a swarming defense that produced a franchise-record 40 points off of turnovers and a balanced offense to beat the visiting Sacramento Kings 132-120 on Thursday. They came back Saturday and scored 34 points off turnovers and rode five double-figure scorers to a 121-99 victory over the Atlanta Hawks in the Smoothie King Center.
