MILES BRIDGES COMPARES HORNETS TEAMMATE LAMELO BALL TO BEN From the very beginning of the season, the bond Miles Bridges and LaMelo Ball built in their first season together was evident on and off the floor. Starting the year on the bench together as super subs, Ball and Bridges became the sparks for the Hornets before each took bigger roles as the season moved on..

While he is a more prototypical shooting guard at 6 feet, 6 inches, his reportedly 7-foot-1 wingspan would make him a versatile player on both ends of the floor. The Pelicans have lacked players with length on the perimeter, which became apparent when injuries LAVAR BALL ON BIG BALLER BRAND: ‘I THOUGHT WE WOULD DO BETTER’ Sans LaMelo and Lonzo moving forward, the company will have to take a new strategy.

March 1, 2020 7:43 pm Jrue Holiday calls Lonzo Ball the 'quarterback' of Pelicans offense Perhaps no offense is better suited between coach and point guard than Lonzo Ball running Alvin Gentry’s up-tempo system It’s a match made in basketball heaven for both sides with Ball exceeding in playing at a high pace and Gentry desiring his team get up and down the court quickly Ball came in and took the mantle as the offensive initiator from Jrue Holiday, one of the most established guards in the league Not only has Holiday willingly taken a step back offensively, he recently commented on Ball’s role with the Pelican offense Pelicans writer Jim Eichenhofer Pelicans writer Jim Eichenhofer

The Lakers completed the season sweep of the Pelicans on Sunday with a 122-114 victory led by a LeBron James triple-double despite a career-high 35 points from Zion Williamson. THE GOOD: THE FREE THROW SHOOTING Call it a favorable whistle. Call it attacking the basket. Whatever the reason, the Pelicans had a massive advantage at the free throw line, attempting 33 freebies to the Lakers’ 10. New Orleans took advantage of that, hitting 27 of those free throws to finish with an

81.8% percentage.

On a night when a lot of things were going in favor of the Pelicans, taking advantage of those areas was important and even if it didn’t result in a win, it is a positive to take away on the night. HONORABLE MENTIONS: ZION WILLIAMSON, DERRICK FAVORS THE BAD: BENCH SCORING Arguably the most inexcusable area the Pelicans struggled on the night was in bench scoring. Often an area of strength, New Orleans was completely outclassed as they were outscored 40-22 in points off the

bench.

Granted, only four players played off the bench on Sunday and one of them, Frank Jackson, played less than six minutes. But if a team is tightening up its rotation, you need increased production and the Pelicans didn’t get that on Sunday. HONORABLE MENTIONS: PLAYOFF RACE, BRANDON INGRAM, DEFENSE ON LEBRON

JAMES

THE BALL: FLIRTING WITH A TRIPLE-DOUBLE Aside from Zion Williamson, Lonzo Ball was the best Pelican on the night and one of the few to have an efficient game. He finished with 19 points, nine rebounds and nine assists with three steals. While he didn’t shoot well from three-point range, finishing 1-of-7, but shot 6-of-8 inside the arc in the loss.

How to watch: ESPN

The Pelicans' playoff push in recent weeks has been built largely on beating teams level with or below them in the standings with few exceptions. A win on Sunday over the Lakers, though, could serve as another springboard into the final six weeks of play. The necessity for a win increased even further after a slate of results on Saturday that could hardly have been worse for New Orleans. Most notably, Los Angeles laid a big egg in the front end...

Starting with one of the best offensive quarters of the season, the New Orleans Pelicans cruised to a relatively comfortable win over Cleveland at home on Friday, 116-104. The Good: The offense The Pelican offense was humming along on Friday night and came flying out of the gates in doing so. New Orleans scored 43 first-quarter points, a new franchise record, to go along with 15 first-quarter assists, also a franchise record for a first quarter. In total, the Pelicans finished with 36 assists of 48 field goals while shooting 54.5% from the field and 39.1% from beyond the arc.
