Zion Williamson has to be boiling inside. 1 for 6 from the free throw line to start this game.
In pregame warmups, he yelled “ZEEEEEE!!!!!” after missing just a single free throw attempt. – 8:50 PM

Zion Williamson had his hand up as soon as Trey Murphy caught the pass. This team has so much confidence in Trey’s deep perimeter shooting.
And now Jose Alvarado hits his second triple.
The 3 New Orleans rookies from the 2021 class, I’m telling ya. – 8:43 PM

Jose Alvarado with a quick 5 points to begin the 2nd quarter and is now up to 11.
If he, Herb Jones and Trey Murphy all take another step forward, the Pelicans are really going to be something. – 8:40 PM

END OF 1Q: Pelicans 26, Pistons 25.
Bey and Ivey each with 6 points.
Pistons are shooting 40 percent from 3. They shot well out of the gate in New York and then it dropped as the game went on.
Two-big lineup was a positive. – 8:38 PM

Pelicans turn a 20-9 deficit into a 26-25 lead at the end of the first quarter. Good play from 2nd unit, led by Jose Alvarado’s 6 points.
Also, New Orleans went 12 minutes without a single turnover. This after committing 22 of them against the Bulls in the last preseason contest – 8:38 PM

Jose Alvarado looks more decisive and confident on drives into the paint and probing defenses. He had two layups and a floater in 1Q, always with a defender at his hip – 8:36 PM

Jalen Duren is out tonight, per the broadcast. #Pistons coach Dwane Casey told me earlier this week that Duren was gimpy after the Knicks game, but also said he felt better during yesterday’s practice. Gives him a couple of days off before the team resumes practice on Sunday. – 8:29 PM

Good energy and spacing so far from Detroit. A Beef Stew block leads to a nice drive and kick by Saddiq and it ends in a Bagley and-one. – 8:17 PM

That was a great pass by Cade to get Bagley a dunk through contact. Zion has two fouls, is staying out there for now. – 8:17 PM

Zion Williamson picks up his second foul less than 4 minutes into this game.
Pelicans offense is also off to a slow start. Somewhat predictable considering Devonte with different role and Trey Murphy seeing his first game action. – 8:17 PM
