The New Orleans Pelicans continued their winning streak in the young NBA season, overpowering the New York Knicks 96-87 on a thrilling Saturday night showdown. Brandon Ingram, with his mesmerizing mid-range game, dropped 26 points, while the unstoppable Zion Williamson contributed 24, marking his second consecutive game with 22+ points.
As the Knicks tried to muster a comeback, Jonas Valanciunas‘ dominant presence in the fourth quarter and the team’s overall 3-point shooting were too much to handle. The Knicks, despite their spirited effort in Atlanta the previous night, seemed to run out of juice, struggling notably from beyond the arc. New Orleans will now be gearing up to face Golden State next.🏀🔥
