Zion Williamson was getting ready to check in for Brandon Ingram, but after he made that last shot — where it looked like he got fouled — Willie Green had Z sit back down.
Z was in full agreement, shaking his head incredulously at the performance at WG. – 8:29 PM

Jose Alvarado always gets a big ovation upon checking in here, but this was even greater than usual with him returning from three-game suspension. Matchup with T.J. McConnell will be fun – 8:27 PM

Brandon Ingram’s looked like a man on a mission — 17 points in the first 8:30 of this game. Has not only scored from everywhere, but he’s grabbing boards with authority and dishing out contact too. – 8:26 PM

Jonas Valanciunas has already matched his minutes played from Wednesday vs. the same Pacers team. Things are going much better for him and the Pels, up 32-16 mid 1Q. JV has 9-5-2 – 8:22 PM

The Pelicans have made 12 of their first 13 field goals, grabbing a 28-16 lead over the Pacers out of the gates.
Rested legs/mind. Who would have thought? – 8:20 PM

Do not bring that weak stuff into CJ McCollum’s house, which he recently installed a wine cellar in during a painstaking seven-month process. – 8:18 PM

A must more feisty Friday night start than most of 2024 for the Pelicans.
Entering tonight, New Orleans is 0-5 on home Fridays this calendar year and 1-6 overall (the only win a 114-113 escape in San Antonio). – 8:18 PM

Celtics are 4-5 on 3-pointers, continuing a recent trend of Mavs opponents prior to the win at Toronto. Cleveland was 14 of 33, Indiana 14 of 31, Phoenix 19 of 44. – 7:50 PM

The 3-point shot has overwhelmed basketball, comprising about 40% of fga. Not everyone likes it, but what can be done when players shoot it so well? I examine from a @Pacers perspective in this week’s @IBJnews. Carlisle, Keller and Sichting weigh in.
