After a slow start, the New Orleans Pelicans turned a 16-point second quarter deficit into a 109-93 win over the lowly Detroit Pistons.
Brandon Ingram scored a game-high 26 points, one of five Pelicans to reach double figures.
Both Jonas Valanciunas (17 points, 11 rebounds) and Josh Hart (14 points, 13 rebounds) had double-doubles. Valanciunas remains tied for the NBA lead in that category.
Herb Jones continued to do a bit of everything with 10 points, five rebounds, four assists, and his typical, exceptional defense.
It was a much-needed win for the Pelicans at the start of a three game stretch against losing teams (Detroit, San Antonio, Oklahoma City) that could help the team build some confidence and its win total while it continues to await the return of Zion Williamson.
