CJ had 14 points on 5-of-12 shooting Friday in Houston. Much better effort tonight. He’s up to 16 points on 6-of-9 shooting at half. New Orleans has built a 20-point lead. – 8:04 PM

#Pelicans defense has been so much better tonight compared to Friday in stopping Rockets drives, including good anticipation on a couple drawn charges. Also not going for pump fakes vs. guards. Houston several “I’m shooting no matter what” possessions that have yielded 0 pts – 8:00 PM

Rockets going one-on-one and forcing things so often, they are not just driving into crowds, they are running into stationary bodies for offensive fouls. They have five assists with 2 1/2 minutes left in the half. Rushing toward a blowout. – 7:58 PM

Really promising to see Dyson Daniels bounce back the way he has so far tonight after his rough performance on Friday.
He’s so much more effective when he’s playing with aggression in the open court. – 7:57 PM

Naji Marshall with a couple big plays late in the first.
After a CJ bucket with 9.4 left, Naji stole the inbounds pass. The ball got passed around then got back to Naji who drilled a long 3 to give the Pels a 38-28 lead heading into the 2Q. – 7:35 PM

Love the work Herb Jones is doing on the offensive boards by outhustling everyone and tracking ball way out of his area. His rebound in the final seconds Friday was an incredible play, but (understandably) forgotten due to game’s ending – 7:20 PM

No surprise department: Pels open posting up Valanciunas, with Rockets sending double team help. They tried five different strategies on him on Friday, settled on that one. He misses inside, then hits a 3. – 7:12 PM
