My Player of the Game: Zion Williamson

Takeaways

* The Pelicans were up by 35 points and 29 points at the half, but majorly struggled offensively in the second half to make the game a lot closer than it seemed after the first half.

* Zion Williamson was active all night, and it was key to the Pels' getting the win.

* Naji Marshall tied his career high with three pointers made

* Every player who got minutes for New Orleans was valuable in this win. This was a grind-it-out kind of game because of how atrocious they played in the second half.

* The Pelicans were up by only six point with 1:11 minutes to go in the game, so it was great to see the Pelicans close out a close one.
