Halftime, Hawks 54, Pelicans 36. To give you an idea how the Pels have looked, the Hawks are 3-of-21 from 3 and still beating the tar out of them. – 4:44 PM

The Pels – who are already dealing with injuries to Trey Murphy, Jose Alvarado and Larry Nance – could be dealing with one more.
Naji Marshall just left after injuring his right leg. Teammates helped him off and he was wheelchaired to the locker room. – 4:38 PM

Naji Marshall leaving the court with a towel over his head and not putting any weight on his right leg as he’s helped by several Pelicans. Replay appears to show Marshall’s right knee move in an unnatural position, buckling upon landing after a contest of Okongwu’s shot. – 4:34 PM

Naji Marshall is down in a lot of pain.
Looked like he came over to help contest a shot and landed on Okongwu’s foot and maybe hurt his right knee that he was grabbing.
He is now being helped off the court. – 4:31 PM

3rd foul on Bruno Fernando.
He’s had a tough task against Valanciunas but he’s risen to the occasion. Pelicans have scored only 12 points in the paint.

Some of the ways that Wesley Matthews has talked about making an impact is just being a vocal leader on the court. After an easy 2 from Trae Young, Matthews was already back on the other side waving everyone back on defense.
