New Orleans Pelicans: Player Grades in 127-123 Loss to the Mavericks

Much of the story around the New Orleans Pelicans’ matchup with the Dallas Mavericks revolved around the first meeting between young superstars Luka Doncic and Zion Williamson.

Doncic won round one of what is sure to be many exciting games against Zion and the New Orleans Pelicans.

Doncic filled the scorecard, notching a 30 point, 10 assist, 17 rebound triple-double against the New Orleans Pelicans, who tried just about everything to stop the 21-year-old superstar point guard.

Kristaps Porzingis added 34 points and 12 rebounds of his own, but it was his defense, along with Maxi Kleber that was ultimately the difference in the game.
