This is a subtitle for your new post

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.

Pelicans @ Nuggets Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 30, 2025

Team Stats (Pelicans at Nuggets) Final Score: 88-122 Rebounds: 36-57 Assists: 17-40 Steals: 9-5 Blocks: 3-5 Turnovers: 12-14 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 21; Nikola Jokić, 21 Rebound Leaders: Trey Murphy III, 7; Nikola Jokić, 12 Assist Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 6; Nikola Jokić, 10 My Player of the Game: Jeremiah Fears Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The starters for this game were Fears, Murphy III, Jones, Zion, and Deandre Jordan. So that was different, and it didn't work at all. * With most of the third quarter over, Zion had five total points in the game. He finished with 11. * The Nuggets went on a 32-4 run in the third quarter. The Pelicans came out very slow to start off the third. * New Orleans went 7-of-33 from the three-point line. * Nikola Jokić had a triple-double. The Pelicans had no answer for him all night. * Do the Pelicans know that the season has started because the majority of the guys out there look like they still think they're playing Summer League. * The problem with this team isn't the talent because they have that. So what's the problem? Coaching, effort, etc.? This has to be fixed ASAP. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.

Celtics @ Pelicans Takeaways

By Chrissy Smith • October 28, 2025

Team Stats (Celtics at Pelicans) Final Score: 122-90 Rebounds: 54-35 Assists: 25-17 Steals: 5-7 Blocks: 7-0 Turnovers: 11-13 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Anfernee Simons, 25; Jordan Poole, 22 Rebound Leaders: Neemias Queta, 11; Yves Miss, 7 Assist Leaders: Payton Prichard, 8; Trey Murphy, III, 5 My Player of the Game: Jordan Poole Chrissy's Key Takeaways * The first two losses of the season were tough but at least the team looked good. In this game, no one looked fired up to compete except Jordan Poole and Jose Alvarado. * Zion did not play because he's been spending all offseason getting in shape just so he could rest after two games. Makes no sense to me. * Trey Murphy and Herb Jones need to find their spark and stride. These guys have been putting in a ton of work in the offseason but it isn't showing right now. * Willie Green has got to be on a short leash because this 0-3 start feels like the team is just picking up where they left off except this time they're healthy and have all the momentum in the world. * The next three games for the Pelicans will be on the road against Denver, Clippers, and Thunder .
