Pelicans lose 110-96 to Wolves. Fall to 3-16 on season. If that’s not troubling enough, we just witnessed their two most woeful performances back to back and Brandon Ingram’s in midst of his worst New Orleans stretch. 12 points on 14 shots vs Pacers. 9 points on 13 shots tonight. – 10:25 PM

Brandon Ingram finished tonight’s loss with 9 points on 2-13 shooting in 37 minutes.

Vanderbilt has 11 points and 7 rebounds nearing his season high of 13 points (vs. LA Clippers on 11/3/21). – 9:31 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Pelicans trail 77-55 just over 4 minutes into the 2nd half. Brandon Ingram can’t get going (1-8) and that’s gotta be at least 5 offensive rebounds for the Timberwolves since halftime.
This one is threatening to be over before the we get to the 4th quarter. Again. – 9:31 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Between the really questionable officiating, James Johnson’s misadventures as a scorer and all things Ricky Rubio, I think Nets -5.5 is among the worst beats of the year. Durant missing a free throw to lose Nets -8.5 vs the Pelicans is the only other candidate I have in mind. – 9:31 PM

Looking back, looks like the NBA took away two takeaways for Minnesota in the first game so now the Pels had just 28 TOs against the Wolves in the first game. They had 17 in the second game.
The 28 was a season high.
The 17 is tied for the 2nd-most.
They have 14 now at half. – 9:16 PM

Pelicans trail the Timberwolves 66-50 at halftime. Here’s the 3 biggest culprits:

Knowing what we know now about him, how high would 28th pick Jordan Poole have gone in the 2019 NBA Draft? Definitely top 10, and possibly top 5. Morant’s a star, Herro and Garrison are terrific and Zion Williamson is a game-changer when he isn’t hurt. After that, Poole’s close. – 5:00 PM
