What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Tony East @TEastNBA
Pacers look a lot better when Justin Holiday’s shots actually go in. This has been a note from Captain Obvious.
They’re up 20. – 7:47 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
And there’s Jonas Valanciunas’ first 3-point attempt and make on the night.
Pelicans struggling with keeping the Pacers off the scoreboard though, trailing 52-35 with over 4 minutes left in the first half. – 7:47 PM

Defense leading to offense for the Pacers, who are playing faster and with more urgency tonight than in any other game so far this week. They need to keep this up. 44-28 lead. – 7:40 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
#Pelicans should still be having nightmares from how disruptive T.J. McConnell was last season. There was a game in New Orleans where Pels had trouble getting ball across halfcourt vs. him – 7:35 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Some rare minutes with Goga Bitadze as the solo center incoming. Intrigued to see what he provides. – 7:34 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuillory
End of the 1st: Pacers 32, Pelicans 19
Lewis 5 pts
NAW 4 pts
Pels shot 40.9 percent from the floor and turned it over 5 times as they fell behind early in Indy. Offensive execution needs some improvement. – 7:32 PM
Scott Kushner @ScottDKushner
If we’ve learned anything, the Pelicans playing like a hot garbage can in the first quarter can only mean they’re due for great things tonight. – 7:32 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Pacers up 32-19 on the Pelicans after 1. Had Sabonis facilitate the offense, then McConnell.
They had 19asts last game; already 11 on 13FGs. Nine-man rotation. – 7:32 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Pacers lead the Pelicans 32-19 after one quarter. That defense will get it done if they can sustain it for 4 quarters. Sabonis was excellent, Martin provided a nice offensive punch with the second unit. – 7:31 PM

Kira Lewis BANG – 7:28 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Nearly 9 minutes into this one, the Pelicans are down 23-10 to the Pacers and have the same amount of turnovers (5) as made field goals (5).
New Orleans has Indiana right where they want em? – 7:25 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Playing through Sabonis more appears to be working, unsurprisingly. 10-3-2 already, Pacers up 17. – 7:23 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Better flow in the first five minutes for the Pacers. Up 15-4, all five have attempted a shot and notably, 0 turnovers to 3. – 7:17 PM
Tony East @TEastNBA
Much, much better start from the Pacers today, up 15-4 early. Pelicans already taking a timeout. Exactly what this group needed. – 7:16 PM
New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBA
Daps all around – let’s hoop 👊

Granted, he has reason for optimism — he’s wearing a turtleneck. In 2 of the 3 Pelicans victories, @adaniels33 had on this wonderful piece of attire! – 6:44 PM

Willie Green on impact of Kira Lewis Jr. (16 pts last night vs. LAC) after three DNPs: “We don’t win that game without Kira coming up big the way he did. To his credit, he’s staying with it, working in the gym, getting better. We were all proud to see him have that game.” – 5:36 PM

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Which #Pelicans player will most exceed his season scoring average at Indiana? @ErinESummers picks Lewis (5.1), @dsallerson tabs Satoransky (2.7). Mine is NAW (15.1). We can’t take anyone more than once all season. #SaturdayScorer standings: Erin 2, Jim 1, Daniel 0, Fans 0 – 3:49 PM

Louisville 42, Detroit Mercy 35 H | Noah Locke 11 points, El Ellis 8 and Dre Davis 7 for Louisville. Samuell Williamson has 7 rebounds. – 2:48 PM
New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBA
Keys to tonight’s game ⤵
▪ Pels limited Clips to 81 points Friday (NOP previous season low was 96)
▪ Lewis (16 points, 3 steals vs. LAC), Satoransky provide vital backcourt depth
▪ NBA 3-point leader Valanciunas (55.3%) vs. top shot-blocker Turner (3.1 bpg)

It’s going to take a long time to have sufficient data to justify trust in +/- numbers, but Herb Jones’ numbers by lineup and by game have stood out this year, as has his actual on-court play. -Pellissier pic.twitter.com/9ZUuTNxWjx – 2:28 PM

No DeVonte’ Graham, Zion Williamson, Didi Louzada, or Daulton Hommes for the Pelicans tonight against the Pacers. They’re all out, as are TJ Warren and Isaiah Jackson for the Pacers.
Chris Duarte (shoulder) is questionable again after playing last night against Charlotte. – 1:37 PM
