The New Orleans Pelicans opened the 2020-21 regular season with an impressive come-from-behind victory north of the border in Toronto.
The Pelicans weathered an ugly first half that saw both Zion Williamson and Lonzo Ball limited with foul trouble, and dominated the third quarter on both sides of the floor, outscoring the Raptors 38-22 to overturn a seven-point halftime deficit.
The Pelicans were red-hot from outside the arc in the third, shooting 7-of-8 from distance, and pulled away in the fourth quarter to win 113-99. Brandon Ingram led the Pelicans with 24 points, and was just one rebound short of recording his first career triple-double.
Here’s the good, the bad and the Lonzo Ball from Wednesday’s season opener.
