The New Orleans Pelicans defeated the San Antonio Spurs 104–95 on January 25 at Frost Bank Center, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Zion Williamson each scoring 24 points to lead the visitors. New Orleans controlled the game through superior rebounding—58 to 46—and a decisive second quarter in which they outscored San Antonio 31–19, establishing a cushion they would not relinquish. The Pelicans shot 40.2 percent from the field and made 9 three-pointers while committing just 10 turnovers, posting a 103.5 offensive rating against San Antonio's 98.9. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 16 points and Keldon Johnson added 15, but San Antonio's 39.5 field-goal percentage and 12 three-pointers proved insufficient to overcome New Orleans' balanced attack and 23 assists. The final score fell well short of the 239.5 Vegas total, a low-scoring affair that reflected San Antonio's defensive struggles (103.5 rating) and inconsistency—they were outrebounded and outshot from the field. The victory underscores New Orleans' depth and resilience as they pursue playoff positioning in the competitive Western Conference.
