Takeaways
- It was not a good offensive night from nearly anyone on the Pelicans team except for CJ McCollum who was the leading scorer for the team.
- Zion Williamson has not quite found his rhythm on offense, but there are no doubts that he will get there.
- From a defensive standpoint, the team did well, but Scoot Henderson was a menace in the first half against New Orleans.
- Having the lack of a true point guard is proving to cause challenges for the Pelicans.
- The Pels play two games next week, on the road, against the Golden State Warriors.
