Knicks (2-3), Pelicans (2-3)
LAS VEGAS – Having been eliminated from the summer league tournament 24 hours earlier, Friday’s game provided New Orleans and New York with a chance to get a longer look at a few players who hadn’t logged significant minutes in the desert. With Cheick Diallo, Trevon Bluiett and Shavon Shields held out of action, the Pelicans played the Knicks tightly for a half, but were outplayed in the final 20 minutes of action.
New Orleans concluded its participation in summer league, dropping a third straight game while allowing 100-plus points.
IT WAS OVER WHEN…
New York went up by 16 points at the first official timeout of the fourth quarter.
