Zion Williamson, who had 23 points and 12 rebounds, hit his free throws. The Golden State Warriors then fouled Ball twice more after that, but Ball didn’t miss and New Orleans pulled within three games of a Western Conference play-in position with six contests remaining. 

Lonzo Ball’s big night came just 24 hours after he’d missed 15 of 18 shots in a loss to the Warriors. After his last jumper, he briefly turned to the stands with his chest bowed out.

Eric Bledsoe scored 14 points and Brandon Ingram 13 for the Pelicans. But Ingram, one of New Orleans leading scorers, went to the locker room with 4:39 left in the third quarter because of a left ankle sprain and did not return. 

Andrew Wiggins scored 26 points and Green contributed 12 rebounds and nine assists for the Warriors, who took the first of back-to-back games in New Orleans on Monday night, 123-108. But the New Orleans Pelicans were far more competitive in the rematch.
