Pelicans Soar Past Timberwolves 117-106 as Williamson and Ingram Shine
The New Orleans Pelicans, led by stars Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, have surged in the Western Conference standings following a period of self-reflection after a heavy loss in the In-Season Tournament. Their recent success, highlighted by a significant win against the Minnesota Timberwolves, is attributed to an increased focus on defensive activity, ball movement, and playing selflessly. Both Williamson and Ingram have stepped up their game, not just offensively but also on the defensive end, contributing to a team-wide improvement. CJ McCollum's consistent three-point shooting has also been crucial. The Pelicans' newfound cohesion and team identity have them looking like serious contenders in the NBA.
