GAME RECAP

Impact player

Jordan Crawford, New Orleans

He's neither Michael Jordan nor Jamal Crawford, but the journeyman guard who was signed to a 10-day contract and then for the rest of the season scored 23 points off the bench. That's his sixth double-digit game in seven since being signed by the Pelicans.

By the numbers

61.2 The Pelicans' second-half shooting percentage (30-for-49), including 45 percent (9-for-20) from three-point range.

33-13 New Orleans' advantage in fast-break points.

9 Ricky Rubio's streak of double-digit scoring games, the longest of his NBA career, after a 10-point, 14-assist game.

4 Karl-Anthony Towns' three-pointers made, tying a career high. He finished with 33 points for his 16th 30-point game this season.
