End of 1st: Pelicans 26, Bucks 25
Williamson 8 pts
McCollum 7 pts
Murphy 5 pts, 5 rebs
Pels manage to come out the 1st with a lead despite going 1-10 on 3s. They made up for it by scoring 20 points in the paint. But it’s been a lot of CJ iso ball. Gotta get more movement. – 8:37 PM

After one quarter, the Pelicans lead, 26-25.
Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks with 10 points and four rebounds. Malik Beasley has 9 points for the Bucks on 3-of-4 3-point shooting. – 8:37 PM

That’s a pretty pass from Giannis Antetokounmpo to find Bobby Portis for that corner 3. Fooled the defense with his eyes. – 8:33 PM

Sloppy start from the Bucks tonight. They have five turnovers in the first 10 minutes tonight and those empty possessions have put them behind.

With 6:35 left in the first quarter, the Bucks lead, 16-11.
Malik Beasley is 2-of-3 early from 3, but Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks with 8 points and 3 rebounds thus far. – 8:19 PM

If Herb Jones doesn’t come up with that steal, Giannis Antetokounmpo gets an easy alley-oop for the dunk. – 8:16 PM

Patrick Beverley’s status for tonight vs. #Pelicans changed from out to probable to now he’s playing. When asked if Beverley is in, Doc Rivers joked that he has to check Beverley’s podcast. After being asked by media if he’s a subscriber, Rivers said no but he might need to – 6:52 PM

Milwaukee’s Doc Rivers was TV analyst for #Pelicans rout at Golden State, spoke to Herb Jones. Rivers on Jones: “I like him as a human, his spirit. You can score on him, and his expression literally doesn’t change. It’s like, ‘You scored on me, but I’ll be back the next play.’ ” – 6:47 PM

Willie Green said it’s TBD if Dyson Daniels could be available Saturday vs. Celtics. With Daniels out vs. Bucks (plus Alvarado out), will be interesting to see #Pelicans rotation. Among reserves available tonight, only Marshall and Nance have logged significant minutes recently – 6:26 PM

The Pelicans are tracking to be a top-6 defense in consecutive years. There’s a lot that has gone into it, but no one deserves more credit for their turnaround than Herb Jones. It’s time All-Defense voters recognize Jones, who’s always, always in the play. nola.com/sports/pelican… – 9:48 AM
