Yeah, it’s the Timberwolves again.
After losing to Minnesota 96-89 on Saturday night, the Pelicans again take on their northerly neighbors hoping for the first win of the season. New Orleans is already 0-3 with Zion Williamson’s return still too far away to see straight. Minny is 2-0 and feeling good.
The Pels have thus far committed too many turnovers to remain close — don’t let your eyes fool you, the Pelicans have played worse than their final box score would indicate across three full games so far. Just Friday night, the Pels turned it over 30 times, including seven from main man Brandon Ingram.
