New Orleans Pelicans

One surefire sign that you’re watching a brilliant offense at work: when the possession ends with more passes made than dribbles taken. Among the NBA’s top teams in ball movement, the New Orleans Pelicans put together a brilliant sequence, working seven different passes in short succession to discombobulate the Dallas Mavericks’ defense, before Dyson Daniels puts on the finishing touches, finding a cutting Zion Williamson for a rim-bending slam. Despite missing much of its rotation, the Pelicans’ offense was in midseason form, tallying 31 assists in a losing effort on November 12, 2023.
