Pelicans snap 3-game skid with 107-98 win over Timberwolves | |
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) Brandon Ingram scored 27 points, Jonas Valanciunas had 22 points and a career-high 23 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans snapped a season-opening three-game losing streak with a 107-98 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday night. Devonte' Graham added 21 points for New Orleans, which was again without injured star Zion Williamson. Nickeil Alexander-Walker had 17 points for the Pelicans, who had a 21-point lead trimmed to four points late in the third quarter. "To finally get one win, it's refreshing," said New Orleans coach Willie Green, who earned his first win as an NBA head coach. "You understand really quick how hard it is to win in this league."
