2. Pelicans vs. Portland, Feb. 11
Yet again, the Pelicans earned a big win over a fellow competitor for the eighth seed and this was the most impressive of those yet.
Coming up against a version of Damian Lillard that was blistering hot, New Orleans absorbed a terrible first quarter before outscored the Blazers 111-81 over the final three quarters in one of the most dominant displays of the season.
Zion Williamson had one of his best games of the season, finishing with 31 points, nine rebounds and five assists.
