7 points! Pelicans risk 20 points big reversal!Zion slashed 29+10, and the Clippers lay in fourth place in the West
On March 27, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Pelicans played the Thunder at home. In this game, the Pelicans came up with a hot offensive momentum, but unfortunately they failed to continue the momentum in the second quarter, and were opened up by the Thunder, trailing by as many as 20 points at most, but in the second half they continued to chase points, and once overtook the score in the final quarter, but unfortunately failed to respond at the last moment, and the Thunder continued to score points to stabilize the situation. In the end, the Pelicans lost to the Thunder 112-119, and the two-game winning streak was ended.
Ingram continued to be absent in this game, and the Pelicans came up in a good offensive state and could take some initiative, but unfortunately they failed to continue the momentum in the second quarter, and the Thunder scored consecutive points, and then fell into a passive situation, trailing by 15 points at halftime. However, in the second half, the Pelicans regained their form and began to keep closing the score, and once overtook the score in the final quarter, but the Thunder immediately responded, Alexander and Dort's three-pointers directly extinguished the Pelicans' counterattack, and the Thunder finally won the game.
The Thunder was also thrilling this time, almost suffering a 20-point reversal, but fortunately successfully withstood it at the last moment. The team's starters were outstanding, scoring most of their points and scoring 97 points. Among them, Jalen Williams scored a high 26 points, and Alexander didn't feel very good this time, scoring 24 points and 8 assists, and his three-point shot at critical moments was still very deadly. In addition, Keady hit five three-pointers to score 25 points, and Holmgren had 16 points and nine rebounds.
It's also a pity for the Pelicans, without Ingram, in the unfavorable situation of once trailing by 20 points, they once overtook the score, but unfortunately failed to withstand it in the end. This time, Zion continued his recent hot momentum, scoring a game-high 29 points on 10-of-17 shooting, as well as 10 assists, 5 rebounds and 3 steals, but also had 5 turnovers. In addition, McCollum has 23 points, and with the Pelicans' loss, they also returned the fourth place in the West to the Clippers.
The Clippers lost to the Pacers in an upset, directly giving up the fourth place in the West to the Pelicans, but the opponent didn't want it. In this way, the Clippers are back to fourth in the West, but whether they can sit firm this time also depends on their own state, and the next game will be away to challenge the 76ers, and only by beating the opponent can they stabilize, or they will have to return it to the Pelicans, and at the same time be careful of the team behind them to catch up.
