“When you run a play and it continues to work, you go right back into it. I’ve been under Luke Walton and that’s something that he does. He ran a play and he kept going back to it, and we didn’t stop it. … We never adjusted.” — Brandon Ingram – 12:14 AM

Nice road win for the Kings in New Orleans. They’re 3-2. Twenty points for Buddy Hield, already has games of 17, 20, 24 and 26 off the bench early this season. He has 22 made 3s in five games, behind only Steph Curry (25) for league lead. – 10:33 PM

Pelicans lose 113-109 to Kings. They fall to 1-5 in the standings.
This sucks.
Not only is the record demoralizing, but there’s players to be excited about asides Ingram/Zion. And this group just never quits. The effort witnessed has been far superior to product past few years. – 10:28 PM

Off that rebound and outlet, Kira Lewis Jr. had space to really attack the floor/get to the rim. He circled out and waited to set the offense despite a secondary defender not being there.
Wish he would be more aggressive in the open floor and utilize his speed/dribble a la Fox. – 9:40 PM

That was Jonas Valanciunas’ first miss from the FT line this season. He was 26/26.
His 31 straight going back to last year tied a career high.
The 26 was the 3rd longest-streak to start a season in Pels history: JJ Redick (32) and Ryan Anderson (27) – per @EliasSports – 9:23 PM
