Takeaways
- For the first time all season, the Pelicans won a game by less than three points or less.
- The game-winning basket was by Zion, and it was set up by an incredible block by Brandon Ingram.
- Jose Alvarado was a major spark plug off the bench, and helped the Pelicans tremendously in the win.
- Herb Jones was out again with a knee injury so Trey Murphy got the start. He finished with nine points.
- This was one of those games where you felt like the Pelicans figured out some things about themselves.
