Takeaways
- Unlike the Pelicans previous game where nothing was going right, in this game, nothing could go wrong.
- CJ was on fire offensively, and of course Jonas was consistent as always with another double-double tonight.
- HAWKINS!! He got some really good, solid minutes tonight.
- Our defense was on point all night -- even during the garbage minutes.
- If the Pelicans keep playing like this, the West better watch out.
