Takeaways
- Once again, Zion was active on both ends of the court and he is proving that he is the Pelicans best player.
- Jonas Valančiūnas was huge in this win. He had 17 points, 10 boards, and was all over the Bucks defensively.
- Herb Jones put on an absolute defensive clinic this game. DPOY.
- New Orleans three-point shooting was atrocious in the first half.
- Trey Murphy had 15 points and 11 rebounds -- great game by him.

Karlo Matkovic and Zion Williamson led the Pelicans in scoring with 25 points each.. t New Orleans closed out a close game, which is something they have not been able to do in recent years .
