Takeaways
- The Pelicans starting five started out flat, which was not surprising since it was the final game in a long road trip.
- The bench won this game with Jose Alvarado, Naji Marshall, and Larry Nance Jr. being crucial to the win.
- Brandon Ingram is one point away from scoring 9,000 career points.
- The Pels were down eight points in the first half and then went on a 41-13 run to take the lead and never looked back.
- The defense really won the game for New Orleans.
- Dyson Daniels is out for the year with a torn meniscus, which really hurts the team from a defensive standpoint.
- The Pelicans final game before the All-Star break is Wednesday (Valentine's Day) at home.
- I'm now accepting tickets to that home game from those who want to be my valentine ;).
