My Player of the Game: Brandon Ingram

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.
