Losing Streak Ends; BI is BACK!

Chrissy Smith • February 5, 2023

The boys are back.


        After a painful stretch of 10 losses in a row, the New Orleans Pelicans finally got a big W, and it came against the perfect opponent, the Los Angeles Lakers.



        The Pelicans were down by as much as 12 in the third quarter, but ended up winning the game, 131-126.

Brandon Ingram was in glorious form, scoring 35 massive points. C.J. McCollum had 23 points, which was highlighted by a late three pointers to help New Orleans close out the final 3:14 on a 9-5 run that kept the Lakers stalled.

Jonas Valanciunas finished with 18 points and 14 rebounds but he got hurt with a right-knee injury in the third quarter and did come return to the game.


        While the headlines across the country were only focusing on the countdown to how much closer LeBron James is to breaking the all-time scoring record, the local Pelicans fans knew this game was important for so many other reasons. New Orleans needed this victory and will look to win another on Sunday at 6 pm against the Sacramento Kings.

A quick share helps us a lot!
