Thunder News: Pelicans practice report: New Orleans eager to return to home playoff stage

[TheFan]

Among the indelible highlights from New Orleans' trip to the 2022 playoffs was a Jose Alvarado out-of-nowhere, fourth-quarter steal of Phoenix point guard Chris Paul in Game 4, leading to a Herb Jones reverse layup that caused the Smoothie King Center crowd to come unglued. The Jones bucket helped seal a Pelicans home victory and evened the series at two games apiece. “Really an elite atmosphere,” New Orleans forward Trey Murphy remembered after Friday's practice of the raucous home environment in '22. At 2:30 p.m. Saturday, the eighth-seeded Pelicans will host top-seeded Oklahoma City in their first home playoff game in almost exactly two years (April 28, 2022).
