The Boston Celtics dominated the New Orleans Pelicans 122–90 on October 27 at Smoothie King Center, with Alfie Simons leading the way with 25 points while Payton Pritchard added 18. Boston's offensive efficiency proved decisive, shooting 48.4 percent from the field and draining 18 three-pointers compared to New Orleans' 9, while controlling the glass with 54 rebounds to 35. The Celtics' fourth quarter was particularly telling, outscoring the Pelicans 35–12 in that frame to seal a 32-point victory after leading 87–62 entering the final period. New Orleans struggled significantly on both ends, managing just 33.3 percent shooting and a defensive rating of 126.3, while turnovers plagued their effort at 13 compared to Boston's 11. J. Poole's 22 points provided some resistance for the hosts, but the Pelicans' inability to generate offensive rhythm—managing only 17 assists—left them helpless against a Celtics team that distributed the ball with 25 assists. Boston's road dominance suggests they remain a legitimate Eastern Conference threat heading into the season's opening stretch.
