After making a turbo start in the game, the New Orleans Pelicans trailed behind in the last three quarters. Although Zion Williamson put up a tough fight with 25 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists, the Atlanta Hawks couldn’t be contained tonight. Brandon Ingram showcased his cool jersey and registered a tally of 16 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 assists.
With a score of 105-123, the Pelicans had their winning streak snapped tonight.
