The Pels were led by Zion Williamson’s career night, but it wasn’t enough. After beating Denver on the road just two games ago, the roles were reversed at the Smoothie King Center. New Orleans led for most of the game, with the Nuggets at one point not being on top since being up 4-2 in the first quarter, only to succumb in the last period.
New Orleans remains twelfth in the Western Conference after this defeat, two games behind a qualifying spot for the play-in tournament.
