Takeaways
- Zion Williamson had his best game of the season, scoring 34 points and 10 assists -- the first time he's done that in his career.
- Brandon Ingram and Jordan Hawkins were also dominant on the offensive side, pouring in 26 points and 23 points respectively.
- Yves Missi had a posturizing dunk on Pacers' Myles Turner. It was AWESOME!
- The Pelicans played with a lot of enthusiasm and grit. The defensive energy was high.
- One important note is that the Pels only had six turnovers the whole game.
- CJ McCollumn and Herb Jones did not play due to injuries and are out 2-3 weeks. Trey Murphy is very close to coming back to action.
