Brandon Ingram went OFF with his first triple-double of his career, scoring 30 points, have 11 rebounds, and 10 assists with ZERO turnovers in the Pelicans’ 115-96 victory against the Charlotte Hornets.

The Pelicans are now 36-37 on the year, which moves them up to 11^th place in the Western Conference standings.

Jonas Valanciunas was a FORCE against the Hornets. He scored 20 points and had 19 huge rebounds. He also had a massive dunk in the game, just showing off for the home crowd.

CJ McCollum also finished with 20 points, and Trey Murphy continued to show his growth as a player, ending the game with 19 points. Naji Marshall also chipped in with 16 points.

The Pelicans looked solid from the beginning, and the Hornets never let up, keeping the pressure on New Orleans to keep their foot on the gas. The Pels were only leading 88-81 heading into the fourth quarter, but then they really stepped it up defensively and held Charlotte to only 15 points in the fourth period.

The Pelicans next game is slated for Saturday, March 25 at 9:30 pm since the match-up is being played at the Los Angeles Clippers.
