Takeaways
- The lineups did not work except for in the first quarter.
- The offense was lacking, and it didn't help that BI only took five shots in the first half and Zion only took six.
- Defensively, the Pels were pretty solid.
- This was just a game where New Orleans did not look evenly matched up with anyone on L.A. at any point in the game.
