Takeaways
- If you thought Trey Murphy wasn't back to his old self, then you should have no doubts after this game.
- Zion Williamson is also back. Like he's BACK BACK.
- Pels went 3-0 on this road trip and have won four in a row.
- The Pelicans had too many offensive weapons against the Hawks and did not have the size to matchup with BI or Jonas.
- Herb Jones will be first-team all-defense.
- There are 18 regular season games left, and the Pels need 11 wins to end the season with 50 victories.

Yay ! * Jordan Poole was back tonight and he made a world of difference. His three-point shooting, confidence, and leadership were a ton of help. * Derik Queen is a problem for all other 29 teams in this league. This kid has a vision that hasn't been seen in any recent rookies, especially for a center. * Bryce McGowens was the second-leading scorer in this game with 23 points. He's stepped up in a big way. * In surprising news, Zion Williamson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in what seems like years that Zion's health is actually improving much sooner than projected. Whether this is a sign of Zion pushing himself or James Borrego pushing him, it's nice to see. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
