Takeaways

• The Pelicans were without Herb Jones and Larry Nance Jr. and you could see the difference from a defensive perspective, but the Pelicans offense was working well enough that they were able to get the victory.
• The Pelicans are now 15 games over .500.
• Point Zion was in beautiful form against Portland -- he started off the game 8-of-8 from the field.
• CJ and Trey's three-point shots were falling all night long.
• The Pels' bench was once again extremely valuable in the win.
