Chrissy's Takeaways:
* Zion was back on the court and looked great and full of energy and a spring in his step.
* Dejounte Murray played exceptionally well, leading the team in points and assists.
* Jose Alvarado brought a spark after the Pelicans started the game down 7-0.
* If the Pelicans would have Trey Murphy able to play then I think they could have won this game.
* Herb Jones hit two big corner three's so it's nice to see him get back in a rhythm.
