Takeaways
- This was a game designed for Jonas Valanciunas to dominate and he did that when he was in the game.
- Zion was out due to an injured finger.
- This was a tough game considering the Pelicans were missing Zion, Brandon Ingram and Jose Alvarado, but it was a game that the Pelicans should have won.
- In the six-game home stand, the Pelicans went 1-5 and are now in 7th place in the Western Conference.
