To the eye, the defense looks like it is finally starting to pick up. Boogie looks like he is actually trying, and Jrue is taking it to another level. Gotta give credit where it's due! Can't wait to see how we look once Hill comes back.
Pelicans pull off a road win without any 20 point scorers. Defense does that for you. Pelicans have had the 5th best defensive rating over the past 7 games.

Have to credit DeMarcus Cousins in the past few games. His defensive buy-in and improvement have moved the needle. They don’t win either of the last two games without it.
