Takeaways
- Brandon Ingram now has over 9,000 career points.
- Zion Williamson was HUGE in the win tonight, leading the team with points and assists and tying Herb and Larry with rebounds.
- Pelicans got a win before the All-Star Break, which is a great feelings.
- CJ McCollum's shooting has been so important for this team.
- The bench came through AGAIN, and it's great to see, but at some point the starters need to bring the energy to begin the game.
- When Larry Nance Jr. got called for a technical foul right before the fourth quarter, that was a big spark for the Pels.
- I'll see y'all after the All-Star Break!
