Unlike in the previous three games, Pelicans this time should work hard to end the Blazers resistance. In the first quarter both teams alternated lead. Pelicans just two points clear just over the break of the first half.
New in the third quarter, Pelicans can control the game. Pelicans had up to 15 points in the middle of the third quarter thanks to the action captured Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday.
But entering the fourth quarter, Blazers able to rise. The visitors had to approach up to four points only. In precarious conditions, Holiday plays an important role. Jumper Holiday with 40 seconds remaining makes Pelicans back six points away and since then no longer overtaken.
