Takeaways
- The Pelicans came to PLAY!!
- Brandon Ingram was using less dribbles than he has been, which kept the offense pushing and in rhythm
- Herb Jones' presence was HUGE!
- Zion played defense and his effort showed.
- This was a total team effort to beat a very good NBA team.
- This is one of those nights where you realize what the Pelicans are capable of.
- Naji Marshall is a baller.
- Ball movement was the best its been all season.
- Maybe it's a coincidence, but we posted the first episode of "The State of the Pels" podcast and it seemed like the Pels watched it and implemented everything we talked about. Watch the episode here: https://youtu.be/nC4fVsFlGvk
