The New Orleans Pelicans defeated the Indiana Pacers, 129-102, at Smoothie King Center on Friday night.

The Pelicans (36-25) came into the night looking to avenge a loss to the Pacers (34-27) in the first installment of the home-and-home series, and they left little doubt they'd be successful in their quest when they jumped out to a whopping 48-26 lead through one.
