McCollum on one key to #Pelicans win: “Our bench was great. They brought energy, they pushed the pace. Jose (Alvarado) was great with his tempo. The big fella (Willy Hernangomez) did a great job establishing his presence in the paint. From top to bottom, it was a good team win.” – 11:17 PM

Spurs’ loss to Minnesota drops them 2 games behind 9th-place New Orleans with 2 games left. San Antonio, though, has the tie-breaker, so theoretically has incentive to win when it hosts GS on Saturday. Chance of homecourt in the 9-10 play-in still alive. – 10:37 PM

Larry Nance comes up with a fully stretched tip-in on one end, then tells Hernangomez to provide help at the rim on following defensive possession. By Billy getting into proper position just at the right time, he came up with a steal of Ben McLemore.

CJ McCollum looked at the bench and told Willie Green to challenge that call on Herb Jones.
Clean block or not, that was a heck of a play by Jones to disrupt the lob to Eubanks. – 9:36 PM

Might not be anything, but CJ McCollum is flexing and grabbing at his right hand. He missed the two free throws after being fouled then missed a long 3 on one of the rebounds.
Came back down grabbing at it… – 9:31 PM

Is Zion Williamson nearing a return for the Pelicans? Today, he played in a “controlled scrimmage.” His stepdad, Lee Anderson, thinks he’ll return this season:
“I expect him to play. If you were to ask Zion, I’m sure he would probably say the same thing.” basketballnews.com/stories/pelica… – 6:51 PM

With a win tonight and a New Orleans loss at home to the Blazers, the Spurs would be tied with the Pelicans for the 9th seed, with the Spurs owning the tiebreaker.
Minnesota could pull within a game of sixth-place Denver with a win and a loss by the Nuggets to the Grizzlies. – 6:07 PM
