Takeaways
- The Pelicans have now won seven straight ROAD games. No matter who you're playing, that is very hard to do.
- Pels were raining three pointers tonight and the Warriors did not have an umbrella.
- New Orleans never trailed in the game and pretty much dominated the whole time.
- Defensively, the Pelicans dominated.
- Interestingly, Jose Alvarado was available but did not play the entire game.
- The Pels shot 57% from the field.
- Rookie Jordan Hawkins scored 14 points tonight
- Jonas Valančiūnas is SO SOLID and SO CONSISTENT; Pelicans fans need to recognize how important he is to the Pels.
