Takeaways
- Brandon Ingram had his third triple-double of his career, and he was huge for the Pelicans tonight.
- It was the first game back home since a long road stretch so it was big-time to see the Pels come out with the victory.
- CJ McCollum was the second-leading scorer with 22, but Jordan Hawkins had 21 points off the bench.
- The Pelicans set a new franchise three-point for a single game with 25 three-pointers made.
- New Orleans played really solid on defense in the second half, which was huge in getting the victory.
- Trey Murphy hit some big three's too, so it was a beautiful night behind the arc.
- Pels are now 25-17 on the season.
