Takeaways

  • Ball movement and activity is the absolute key to beating this very good Kings team
  • The Pelicans three-point shot was not good tonight, but the team found other ways to score
  • Defense was solid tonight
  • Rebounding was huge by the Pelicans
  • Herb, Naji, and Jose have been huge from an energy and electric standpoint
  • Oh -- the referees were terrible tonight
  • Also, this would have been an evening that Trey Murphy would have been huge to have.
