Devonte Graham with a great start. Two 3-pointers and now takes a charge against Mathurin.
He doesn’t deserve all the slander he’s been getting. Not even close. – 8:14 PM
Indiana Pacers @Pacers
Myles Turner in the first quarter:
12 PTS
5-5 FG
6 REB
1 BLK

Pelicans hit 7 3-pointers against Atlanta on Saturday night in overtime. They’ve hit 8 in a game three times already this season.
First quarter tonight, they are 7-of-10 from deep.
Some of that comes from Indy’s 2-3 zone. But Pelicans taking – and making – 3s early. – 8:10 PM

Ingram 6 pts
Jones 4 pts
3-pointers:
NOP: 7-10

Zion Williamson with his second 3-pointer of the first quarter. He’s now 2 for 4 from deep on the season, 18 for 52 in his career.
(That’s 34.6% 👀) – 8:09 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Pacers up 32-30 after one quarter against the Pelicans. Myles Turner was great with 12 points and 6 rebounds. Jalen Smith and Tyrese Haliburton had good quarters as well.
New Orleans figures things out more and more as the quarter went on. Pacers will need to step up on D. – 8:09 PM
Christian Clark @cclark_13
Took the Pelicans almost four minutes to score in the first quarter, but they’re only down two. Zion hit a pair of 3s. Most he’s ever hit in a game is four. You probably remember that night. – 8:09 PM
Kenny Beecham @KOT4Q
Zion has 2 3s in the first quarter – 8:09 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
Zion just knocked down his 2nd 3-pointer of the night.
This is the first time he’s made 2+ threes in a game since he hit 4 in his pro debut. – 8:09 PM
Jake Madison @NOLAJake
Zion draws two on the drive, kicks it out to Jose who makes the extra pass for a great look to Devonte’.
Zion’s gravity is unmatched – 8:08 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Trey Murphy. Bang from deep. Great find by Jose.
Seems like every time Alvarado dribbles into/thru the lane, something good happens for him or someone else. – 8:06 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
The Pelicans were 7-23 on 3s in Saturday’s OT loss to Atlanta.
They’re already 5-8 from deep in the 1st quarter tonight. – 8:06 PM

After starting 0-3 from the field, Brandon Ingram has hit two straight 3-pointers.
Pelicans trailed 9-0. Now they’re just down two points at 22-20. – 8:04 PM

Excellent offensive start for Myles Turner, who has 7 points and 4 rebounds halfway through the first quarter. – 7:57 PM
Jake Madison @NOLAJake
That was a beautiful shot by Zion for the triple – 7:55 PM
Christian Clark @cclark_13
Zion left wide open. Connects on his first 3 since April 26, 2021. – 7:54 PM

Zion just drained his first 3-pointer of the season – 7:54 PM

Zion Williamson with a nice defensive play seconds in, blocking Buddy Hield at the rim in transition. 👀 – 7:47 PM

For the Pacers perspective follow @Tony East who is also a super sub on Locked On NBA – 7:47 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Hield on Ingram, Haliburton on Jones, Nembhard on McCollum, Turner on Zion, Smith on Valanciunas for the Pacers to start this game. Tricky for the Pacers to match the Pels starters. – 7:46 PM

Trayce, Race and Xavier Johnson were all on bench and Indiana went on a run with second unit.
Love the energy that freshmen Malik Reneau and Jalen Hood-Schifino have given the Hoosiers.
Can really be difference-makers for this team. – 7:37 PM

Indiana struggling early with Morehead State – up 23-21 with 8:20 left in the first.

Per our good friend Jumbotron, with Duarte and Nesmith out, looks like Andrew Nembhard gets his first NBA start. It’s Haliburton, Nembhard, Hield, Smith, and Turner. pic.twitter.com/4Td0wgSI017:16 PM

The Pelicans are listed as 5.0 favorites against the Pacers tonight.
Maybe more attention should be paid to New Orleans possessing a top 10 offense and defense as oddsmakers are showing faith. https://t.co/wjYoWifO5N pic.twitter.com/Ln1JmPUG5Q6:45 PM

Tonight marks the Bulls 5th game in 7 nights and their 4th back to back in their first 12 games—insane ! After Wednesday’s home game against New Orleans, the Bulls get a much needed three day break before Denver rolls in to town Sunday night. Next b/b : Dec. 10/11 Love the grind! – 4:10 PM
