In their last time out, Brandon Ingram drained a career-high seven 3-pointers to help the New Orleans Pelicans score a victory over the Washington Wizards.
On Friday night, Lonzo Ball decided to follow suit. Ball connected on seven shots from long distance, as well, helping the Pelicans hold on for a 131-126 victory over the visiting Milwaukee Bucks.
New Orleans got big efforts across the board, leading by as many as 29 points. Giannis Antetokounmpo helped the Bucks to a late rally, but ultimately, it was enough to overcome a balance effort from the Pelicans.
Ingram led the way with 28 points and four assists. Ball ended the night with 27 points, three rebounds and eight assists. Zion Williamson contributed 21, nine and seven, while Eric Bledsoe had a nice revenge game against his former squad with 25 points and four assists.
The Pelicans have now won back-to-back contests for the first time since Jan. 2. They improve to 7-10 on the season but will complete a three-games-in-four-nights stretch when they host the Rockets and Kings on Saturday and Monday, respectively.
