Takeaways
- Turnovers killed the Pelicans.
- The Pelicans blew another game where they were leading.
- Sengun was a monster against the Pelicans; he was the Rockets leading scorer, rebounder, and assist leader.
- Jonas Valanciunas got into foul trouble and for every minute that he sat, Sengun hurt the Pels.
- The Rockets would have won by much more if it wasn't for Robinson-Earl's great defensive performance.
- Pelicans need a win while they have four more games at home in a row.
- Zion Williamson played a really great game.
