Oh dear, let me tell ya about that game between the New Orleans Pelicans and the Chicago Bulls on October 23, 2024. Now, this one was a real doozy, with the Pelicans takin’ the win, beatin’ the Bulls 123 to 111. You’d think the Bulls would’ve done better, but no, the Pelicans were just too strong. Let me give ya the rundown of how things went down and some of the key players who really stood out.
Brandon Ingram, now he was somethin’ else! That fella, he scored a whopping 33 points. If ya ask me, he was the reason the Pelicans walked away with that win. Towards the end of the game, with just 1:46 left, he hit this sweet baseline turnaround jumper that pretty much sealed the deal. No comin’ back for the Bulls after that! You could see the Bulls startin’ to lose hope after that shot.
And don’t forget Zion Williamson, who’s another big player for the Pelicans. Now, he didn’t score as much as Ingram, but he sure made his presence known. Zion was in there mixin’ it up, grabbin’ rebounds, and making the Bulls work for every inch. They just couldn’t stop him, and it sure frustrated ‘em. Ain’t no way the Bulls could catch up when those two were on fire.
Now, for the Chicago Bulls, well, they didn’t go down without a fight. Zach LaVine tried his best to lead the charge for the Bulls, racking up 29 points. He had a couple of big shots here and there, but it just wasn’t enough. It’s like they couldn’t get their rhythm together. The Pelicans just had their number that night.
Then there was Ayo Dosunmu, who’s been playin’ decent ball lately, playin’ about 29.5 minutes a game. He’s a young fella, and you can tell he’s got a lot of heart, but it seemed like he was struggle a bit to make an impact in this one. Ain’t no shame in that, though; some games just don’t go the way ya want ‘em to.
The Bulls defense, well, it wasn’t as strong as it could’ve been. They kept leavin’ holes in their defense, and the Pelicans were quick to take advantage of that. Every time the Bulls tried to get close, the Pelicans just pushed ‘em right back. It’s like they were out there playin’ chess while the Bulls were still on checkers.
When it comes to stats, the Pelicans were way ahead in a lot of departments. They shot better from the field, made more free throws, and out-rebounded the Bulls. The Bulls just couldn’t keep up in the second half, especially after Ingram’s clutch play. It was a tough game for Chicago, but they’ll have other chances. Just gotta shake this one off and get back at it!
Final Score: New Orleans Pelicans 123, Chicago Bulls 111
So, if you’re lookin’ to keep track of the key players from this game, ya got to keep an eye on guys like Ingram and Zion from the Pelicans. And for the Bulls, LaVine’s still the one to watch. Maybe next time they’ll be able to turn things around. Who knows, but for now, the Pelicans can celebrate another win!
