New Orleans Pelicans Dominate Nets Behind Ingram and Williamson's Impressive Performances
Pelicans Secure Convincing 130-108 Victory
Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram Lead the Charge
On October 19, 2022, the New Orleans Pelicans visited the Brooklyn Nets in an exciting NBA matchup that ended with a dominating 130-108 victory for the Pelicans. The game, which was broadcast live on ESPN, featured impressive performances from Zion Williamson and Brandon Ingram, who showcased their offensive prowess.
Williamson, the Pelicans' dynamic forward, led the scoring with 25 points, while Ingram added 28 points and 8 assists. The Pelicans' offensive dominance was evident throughout the game, as they shot a remarkable 55.9% from the field and 43.8% from three-point range.
Simmons' Return Ends in Disappointment
The Nets, meanwhile, struggled to keep pace with the Pelicans' offense. Ben Simmons, who was making his first appearance since June 2021, had a disappointing outing. The former All-Star finished with only 4 points and fouled out of the game in the fourth quarter.
Despite Simmons' absence, the Nets had some bright spots. Kyrie Irving scored 22 points for the Nets, while Seth Curry added 20 points. However, the Nets' efforts were not enough to overcome the Pelicans' impressive shooting display.
Pelicans' Strong Start Sets the Tone
The Pelicans started the game strong, jumping out to a 32-25 lead in the first quarter. They continued their dominance in the second quarter, extending their lead to 64-48 at halftime. The Nets made a brief comeback attempt in the third quarter, but the Pelicans responded with a strong fourth quarter to secure the victory.
With this win, the Pelicans improve their record to 2-1, while the Nets fall to 1-2. The Pelicans will look to continue their winning ways when they face the Miami Heat on October 21, while the Nets will try to bounce back against the Philadelphia 76ers on October 20.
