Team Stats (Pelicans at Clippers) Final Score: 124-126 Rebounds: 43-37 Assists: 28-28 Steals: 8-12 Blocks: 4-6 Turnovers: 15-12 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Zion Williamson, 29; Kawhi Leonard, 34 Rebound Leaders: Yves Missi, 9; Ivaca Dubac, 11 Assist Leaders: Jeremiah Fears, 8; James Harden, 14 My Player of the Game: Jeremiah Fears Chrissy's Key Takeaways * It was great to see the New Orleans Pelicans come out early in the game and play well and be competitive. * Rookie Jeremiah Fears is the real deal. He's 19 years old and playing like he's used to the pace of the NBA. * Once again, the third quarter proved to be a turning point for the Pelicans as the Clippers took their biggest lead of the game during that time. * BTW, Joel Meyers was unhinged during this game and said several things against the referees that were hilarious and true. * Jordan Poole has been a gift to this team and it's strange that he isn't a starter anymore. * We need to see resilience from this team and it hasn't happened yet. * The Pelicans are 0-5 to start the season. This is depressing. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
