Chrissy's Key Takeaways
* 22 points, 8 assists, and a game-high +23 plus-minus in 35 minutes of action, sparking a crucial 10-2 run in the fourth quarter after New Orleans briefly took an 89-87 lead.
* Pelicans star Zion Williamson was held to a season-low 13 points, largely slowed down by Minnesota's defensive versatility and physicality (including standout defensive pressure from Jonathan Kuminga).
* Minnesota capitalized on the glass, pulling down 17 offensive rebounds and attempting 15 more 3-pointers than New Orleans to overcome an otherwise quiet night from deep (12-of-39 on 3-pointers).
