Pelicans Win Fifth Game in a Row

Chrissy Smith • March 28, 2023

“Just win” has become the mantra for the New Orleans Pelicans, and the local team is doing just that, having won its fifth game in a row on Monday.


The Pels defeated the Portland Blazers, 124-90, on Monday night in Portland. The Pelicans play again on Tuesday, March 28 at the Golden State Warriors in what is going to be one of the biggest games of the season for New Orleans.


Against Portland, it was all Pelicans from early on with the local team leading by 20 points after the first quarter. Brandon Ingram shockingly did not score a double-double, but he did finish the game with 29 points. Jonas Valanciunas DID finish with another double-double, though, scoring 10 points and a mind-blowing 21 rebounds. Every active Pelicans player scored at least two points. Total team effort.


New Orleans is looking for its sixth straight victory tonight against the Warriors. In the Western Conference, Golden State is currently in seventh place and the Pelicans are in eighth.


Tip-off is set for 9:30 pm CST.

2025 LSU Week 3 Preview

By Erik Trosclair • September 12, 2025
When: Saturday, September 13th, 2025, 6:30 PM Where: The Real Death Valley, Baton Rouge, LA Channel: ABC Spread: LSU -7.5 O/U: 46.5 This will be the 72nd time these schools meet up in this storied rivalry. This game always has a story, a moment to remember, so be ready, football fans! Florida Gators The Gators enter this contest with a record of 1-1. Florida opened up the season with a 55-0 win over Long Island University, but the Gators dropped a game last week to a talented South Florida team. This Gator offense is led by quarterback DJ Lagway. LSU fans remember Lagway all too well from last season. On the season, Lagway is 38/51, with 342 passing yards and 4 TDs. Jadan Baugh is the leader in the backfield. The leading pass catchers on this team are Vernell Brown III, Eugene Wilson III, and Hayden Hansen. The Gator defense is a solid unit. Jaden Robinson and Myles Graham are the leading linebackers. Tyreak Sapp is the leader on the defensive line. LSU Tigers The Tigers are coming off of a "disappointing" victory against Louisiana Tech. The Tigers have a chance to bury the Gators' dreams for the season in this game. This game being in Death Valley helps out the Tigers tremendously. The Tigers better be ready to get on the Gators early and often because this is an upset Gator team with a big upset on the mind. KEYS TO THE GAME - Can the Tigers establish a running game? The leaders on this team need to get up. - Will the Tigers' defense keep up the red-hot start to the season? - Will Braelin Moore be back on the field? This is a mad Florida team who would love to upset the Tigers in this rivalry. Can the Tigers contain DJ Lagway? Fun Fact: Florida running back coach Jabar Juluke was born in New Orleans. He was the running back coach at LSU in 2016. Thank you for checking out my article. Follow me on X (the artist formerly known as Twitter) @eazytro
