New Orleans, LA – The New Orleans Pelicans took on the Sacramento Kings this afternoon in HP Fieldhouse. The Pelicans once again displayed a poor uninspired lethargic defensive effort against a Sacramento today. The Kings back court of De’Aaron Fox and Bogdan Bogdanovic combined for 65 points and annihilated their New Orleans counterparts. Sacramento consistently stayed on the attack and never allowed the Pelicans to gather themselves for a comeback.
The Kings not only made the wide open shots New Orleans gave them but with workmen like effort were able to get to the free throw line. Harrison Barnes always has great games versus New Orleans as he scored 22 points and 6 rebounds in 34 minutes. The Kings pressed on to smash the Pels 140-125
The few bright spots that the Pelicans had were Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram who combined for 48 points. The two are showing they can coexist together in a productive manner.
