Takeaways
- The Pelicans set a franchise record for points scored in a game with 153 points in four quarters.
- When the Pelicans shoot the ball well from the three-point line, good things tend to happen.
- Brandon Ingram was an assist machine tonight.
- BI, Zion, CJ and Jonas set a strong tone for the Pelicans to begin the game.
- How does Zion get up so high??? He was unreal tonight on the alley-oops.
- Herb Jones was a menace on defense, and it was just what the Pelicans needed.
- Pelicans played through a lot of physical contact that apparently was not a foul.
- Willie did change up the lineups a little bit tonight so it is clear he is trying to find the right combination to win every game; to end the third, it was Murphy, Naji, Zion, Jonas and Hawkins in the lineup.
