Takeaways
- The Pelicans looked TIRED, yet they still stayed within reach, but couldn't ever take the lead.
- This was the first game since the All-Star Break that CJ, BI and Zion were all on the court together.
- I'm ready to flop Zion to start showing up so that he gets the calls he deserves.
- The three-point line was a killer for the Pelicans as the Pacers were hot from behind the arc all night.
- Pels play back at home on Friday, March 1.
