Takeaways

• The Pelicans missed 17 free throws on the night, which was the nail in the coffin in a game they could have won.
• The Pelicans were up 100-97 after Zion Williamson hit a free throw with 4:58 left in the game, but the Suns closed out New Orleans by outscoring the Pelicans 18-8 the rest of the game.
• The Pelicans missed seven free throws in the third quarter, but still managed to be down only one point, 81-80, heading into the fourth quarter.
• Jordan Poole scored 19 points in the game but had some critical turnovers, and missed the most free throws on the night.
• The Pelicans will take on the Suns again tonight at 6 pm at the Smoothie King Center.
