Takeaways
- The Pelicans were without Zion Williamson, CJ McCollum, Dejounte Murray, Herb Jones and Trey Murphy so Brandon Ingram had to bear the weight of the offense on his shoulders, which he did a great job of doing.
- The Pelicans struggled to find a consistent offensive rhythm, shooting just 43% from the floor compared to the Hawks’ 57%.
- New Orleans couldn’t contain Atlanta’s Jalen Johnson, who scored a career-high 29 points.
- The Hawks dominated New Orleans 66-32 in the paint, and the Pels had 18 turnovers, which proved costly.
- The Pels play next on Monday, Nov. 4 and hopefully Zion will be back in action.
