Takeaways
- The Pacers got to see what a rested Pelicans team looked like. What a difference being well-rested looks like.
- Brandon Ingram was cooking all night and was on fire.
- Trey Murphy III has found his shot and it is a beautiful thing to see again!
- Jose Alvarado was back from his three-game suspension, and his energy was much needed.
- This was a solid performance defensively from the Pelicans, and even when they were up by over 20 points, they never slacked off.
- Tyrese Haliburton had a terrible game, and a lot of credit goes to the Pels' defense for that.
- New Orleans does not play at home against until Wednesday, March 13.
