Game Preview
The NBA season is less than one-third over. But the New Orleans Pelicans’ unexpected ascension to the top of the Western Conference is noteworthy nonetheless.
The Pelicans, who started 3-16 last season, moved into the No. 1 position in the conference when they won for the ninth time in 11 games — beating the visiting Detroit Pistons 104-98 –and the Phoenix Suns were routed by the Boston Celtics 125-98 on Wednesday.
That gave New Orleans a half-game lead over the Suns, who will visit the Pelicans on Friday.
