Takeaways
- Not only has Herb Jones been playing like DPOY, but Dyson Daniels is doing the same.
- Pels outperformed them in assists, steals, and turnovers so it's rough that they still lost.
- Pelicans really struggled to guard the three-point shot, and unfortunately, Utah kept hitting.
- Brandon Ingram is having an insanely good season.
- Jose's energy was important.
- Cody Zeller is making an impact.
- Jonas doesn't get fed the ball enough.
- Pels are are still without CJ and Trey Murphy and yet look very tough to beat against anyone.

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.
