Takeaways
- The Pelicans lost by 40 points.
- New Orleans had 21 turnovers, which started early in the game, and there was no coming back.
- Until some of the Pelicans starters come back healthy, Brandon Ingram is going to keep being double-teamed.
- Not much good to say from this game except thank God it's over.
- The Pelicans play again tonight on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers and will be without every single starter along with their next-off-the-bench players.

Yay ! * Jordan Poole was back tonight and he made a world of difference. His three-point shooting, confidence, and leadership were a ton of help. * Derik Queen is a problem for all other 29 teams in this league. This kid has a vision that hasn't been seen in any recent rookies, especially for a center. * Bryce McGowens was the second-leading scorer in this game with 23 points. He's stepped up in a big way. * In surprising news, Zion Williamson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in what seems like years that Zion's health is actually improving much sooner than projected. Whether this is a sign of Zion pushing himself or James Borrego pushing him, it's nice to see. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
