With 64 combined points from Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson, the New Orleans Pelicans picked up their third-straight win with a 117-110 victory over Sacramento.
The Pelicans dynamic duo was nearly unstoppable on Monday, finishing 24-for-39 from the field and 13-for-18 from the line to score over half of New Orleans’ points.
Behind them, the Pelicans built a 26-point line in the first half and looked well on their way to a blowout victory. However, as has been the case all season, things got interesting in the second half.
Sacramento cut the lead down to single digits in the fourth quarter and as little as four points in the final seconds but the Reds hunt on for the victory.
Eric Bledsoe had 13 points while Wes Iwundu and Kira Lewis had 11 points apiece. De’Aaron Fox had 43 points for Sacramento in the loss.
