For the second straight game on national television this season, the New Orleans Pelicans were embarrassed. Following a Christmas Day beatdown, New Orleans traveled to Phoenix on Tuesday and were manhandled, trailing by as many as 40 points en route to a 111-86 loss.
The first quarter was competitive between the two sides with the Suns holding just a two-point lead. Over the second and third quarters, though, the Suns outscored the Pelicans 69-32.
Zion Williamson finished with 20 points on 9-of-13 shooting while Brandon Ingram and Steven Adams had 13 and 11 points, combined. No other Pelican finished with more than seven points as the team shot 12.5% from three on 24 attempts.
