Pelicans starters: Jeremiah Fears Trey Murphy Saddiq Bey Zion Williamson Derik Queen

Jose Alvarado already has 5 points and 6 assists in the 1st quarter. He's doing a great job of controlling the pace early on.

End of 1st quarter: Pelicans 37, Bulls 30 Alvarado 8 pts, 6 assts Murphy 5 pts Missi 4 pts, 4 rebs Pels finish with the most they've scored in any 1st quarter this season. Jose Alvarado has been the best player on the court. He's playing with tremendous pace.

The Pels are up 20 right now on the Bulls. No, that is not a typo.

Yves Missi already has 10 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks in his 14 minutes off the bench. His activity has been off the charts.

End of 1st half: Pelicans 74, Bulls 58 Williamson 17 pts (14 in 2nd) Murphy 13 pts (5-9 FG) Missi 10 pts, 10 rebs Pelicans come up with perhaps their most dominant half of the season. Jose Alvarado and Yves Missi got it started early. Zion came to life in the 2nd quarter. Bryce

Pelicans start the second half with Jose Alvarado and Yves Missi instead of Jeremiah Fears and Derik Queen

Micah Peavy may not be much of a threat from the 3-point line but he is an excellent cutter. Times his cuts really well and always seems to know when defenders lose tabs on him. This Pels draft class continues to look like a home run for the front office.

End of 3rd: Pelicans 108, Bulls 93 Williamson 20 pts (5-11 FG) Murphy 19 pts Missi 12 pts, 11 rebs Pels had a chance to win the 3rd quarter before fouling Tyus Jones with less than a second left. Bulls end up winning the quarter 35-34. Still, Pels are executing really well on

Over these past couple games, James Borrego has been really aggressive using his timeouts whenever he feels like the Pels are getting too sloppy. You can tell how much he's trying to establish a different mindset with this group.

Jose Alvarado is officially on triple-double watch. He has 10 pts, 8 rebs and 7 assts with 8:34 left in the game.

Bulls are using the 3-point line to hang around in this one. Just knocked down their 20th 3-pointer of the night. Pels lead 131-121 with 3:47 left.

Final: Pelicans 143, Bulls 130 Williamson 29 pts (8-14 FG, 13-16 FT) Bey 20 pts, 14 rebs Murphy 20 pts Pels snap their 9-game losing streak by scoring a season-high 143 points. Eight of the nine players who saw the floor scored in double figures. Zion also tied his season-high

The best in the business

James Borrego said Jordan Poole still isn't taking any contact at practice but he did do some on-court activities today.

Herb Jones (right calf strain), Jordan Poole (left quad strain) and Karlo Matkovic (right calf strain) are listed as out for tomorrow's game vs Memphis
