Takeaways
- Despite having played the night before, the Pelicans did not look tired.
- Brandon Ingram was in control and took leadership of this team tonight.
- The passing from side-to-side was effective and needed.
- Jonas Valančiūnas played great on offense and, once again, had a tough job of also guarding another big.
- The defense has been much better, but the Pelicans are still struggling to guard the three-point shot very effectively.
- Jordan Hawkins is the TRUTH.
- Pelicans played great against a very good NBA team despite not having Zion and having played against an excellent team last night as well
- BI will get better at hitting clutch shots as his career develops
