Takeaways
- Although it's been a while, the Pelicans really struggled to guard the three-point shot, and it hurt them the entire game.
- Defensively, this is one of the worst games for the Pelicans.
- Even though the referees were absolutely terrible, Zion managed to score 33 points and dominated throughout much of the game.
- The bench was not impressive as they usually are.
- CJ McCollum and Herb Jones did not score in the first half and that really said a lot about how the offense was in tonight's game.
- The Pels have two more games at home and need to win them both.
