The New Orleans Pelicans suffered a late-game collapse, falling 128-118 to the Orlando Magic. This game had some significant bright spots: Jordan Poole finally bounced back, scoring 23 points after being on the worst stretch of his Pelicans career. Yves Missi and Karlo Matkovic also killed it off the bench. Jeremiah Fears' decision-making looked on point. Derik Queen and Trey Murphy III's chemistry continues to skyrocket.
Despite all the positives, there was one obvious flaw that was a major contributor down the stretch and ultimately led to Orlando's 24-8 run to close the game.
