Takeaways

• Herb Jones was the Pelicans leading scorer with 14 points so that should tell you all you need to know about how the offensive production was.
• Coming off a franchise record-setting number of points in a game (153), the Pelicans only put up 83 points in this game.
• Zion did not play.
• Defensively, the Pels were solid, considering OKC is the third-best in the league at scoring points.
• It was a disappointing loss considering that New Orleans has struggled all season with playing well after winning a big game by a lot.
• Jordan Hawkins is probably close to being the first sub off the bench if Trey Murphy's shooting woes continue.
