Takeaways
- Trey Murphy's shot was working for the Pels again, which was great to see and helped the Pels get the win.
- The Pelicans were without Zion, Dyson Daniels and Cody Zeller but were still able to finish with a victory.
- New Orleans looked very tired in the game, but did just enough to top the Trail Blazers.
- The Pels are now 4-4 in back-to-back games.
- Herb Jones is big time from that corner three.
- CJ McCollum is a gift. This man is resilient, calm, cool, and collected.
- It was a close game, but the Pelicans finally wore out the young Trail Blazers team.
- Pels have two more games to play before the All-Star Break.
