New Orleans Pelicans vs Denver Nuggets – Full Game Highlights | January 12, 2024 | 2023-24 Season

Not a small number over two games New Orleans is playing probably their best basketball the season now the Pelicans come into this game at 23 and 15 year out of Alabama head coach Willie Green told us before the game he’s become much more vocal this year as Brandon Ingram one of the

Best mid-range scorers but too strong there on the season he is shooting 38% joic down cour gets Denver’s first basket I think Dave joic may have the best hands in the NBA took 47 years before they got their title most in NBA history a turnover by the Pelicans here’s Murray gets past

McCullum and finishes through contact thought he should have been fouled of the 2022 season sometimes this is where he’s at his best going downhill getting the basket he has six of the eight points for the PS Dave Griffin his general manager said he still thinks

He’s a couple weeks away but this is a different guy tonight when he was coming out and you guys were evaluating obviously weren’t a position corter throws it down on valent Tunis he he he he doesn’t need to oh boy couple of uh open lanes which you don’t

Normally see from this Pelican defense for dunkers but in terms of actual injuries and he’s been bothered by a quad problem the last week or so he’s only and the last 15 games Dave 75% effective field goal percentage he’s on a tear and it’s it’s why they’re winning

Yic pretty move and McCollum so fast pace so far a lot of quick shots going up and down teams uh getting easy layups too oh what a pass by joic and great and his role has changed but his production has not and here we go get to see a

Chance at this New Orleans Pelicans depth I I I think it’s the deepest team in the league there’s Larry Nance good night for uh the Bruins not a good one closing in on a minute to go here in the first Denver by four another three for pyton Watson and Denver sport two points

One of three from the floor and one assist they double him gives it up to Brown is open and hit a three made the play in last year having Zion for half the season now he finally gets him healthy and let’s see what the Pelicans do they look like a dangerous team but

They’re struggling tonight although with that Nance jumper jic on the bench to start the second quarter 11 points points five assists in the first Reggie Jackson trying to shake Daniels does and hits New Orleans has won two straight games six of its last seven with the lone loss against the Clippers who may

Be playing better than anybody right now in the west McCullum drills another three CJ McCullum second New Orleans six of 15 from three Denver six of 10 shot clock at one Murray has to hoist it and Murray able to connect from mid-range nice pass by McCullum or excuse me by

Murray and Jordan with the slam it’s not a fluke seventh best defensive efficiency in the league and that’s how you become a contender that’s you know they’re they’re top 10 in offense they’re 10th and defense they’re seventh that’s what you got to be he’s got seven

Points here in the quarter and the lead is 14 good defense Watson getting the steel and the slam he he has had a tremendous first half that last possession he had a block he contested CJ McCollum and a steal here Bal thought about the three instead gives it up

Ingram theob alen chunis gets deep and scores six quick points for Jonas balunis he’s not shooting 80 90% so he’s in a rut think about that 83% we touched on this at the top of the telecast as he makes a great move on Valen junis that

Few times it’s as a passer yeah or just with his ball handling like I said before he just gets you a great possession on every possession I mean yic does so much for his teammates he just at six assists now for yic he averages over nine per game which is

Good for third in the NBA lead is 19 Alvarado hits a three the seven four five points for Jones who is a second round pick out of Alabama back in [Applause] 2021 joic spinning and finishing and valent Tunis puts his head you know in the NFL they have a guy upstairs that’s

In charge of the challenge flag for the coaches you should that’s not super relevant to an n game but oh how about yic with an incredible pass to Aaron Gordon nicoa yic with seven assists and he saved his best for last here in the first half 3 seconds to

Go McCullum at the buzzer good CJ mull drills a three he has never changed Malone says that’s a rarity in this business joic is the same guy he was nine years ago when he arrived in Denver and that’s what’s helped cultivate such a good culture here as well right on Q

Guys that’s good defense there by yic Caldwell Pope flips it to Porter collects fires connects on the three M Porter junr it’s a two it all it’s psychological but it matters it affects how you move affects how you play affects the expectations this is a good early looking see the question is that

That that’s and we really saw that on display in in the Conference Finals and the NBA finals last year yeah as you get deeper and deeper into the playoffs can get you a great possession almost every single time in the half court meanwhile New Orleans on a 10-2 run here’s joic in

The middle of the lane I mean it’s it’s 7965 Denver Murray a little shaken up after the contact with Jones Jumper by yic just good jic 9 of 13 now from the floor 21 points the lead back to 17 you’re right shil just is is here we go

Zion taking off you know just just just catching it Jas trying to spin Baseline and Valen junis thing goes right at him they don’t blow the whistle jic clearing space gets the dunp that’s the question with the pelic going back to your comment on joic

And what he does for you in the playoffs who’s going to be that guy for the Pelicans in a playoff series joic with the offensive rebound Marshall gets the offensive rebound he’s been quiet he averages eight points per game he’s only taken one shot and that was just a

Couple of minutes ago here he gets to the rim and flushes it you’d probably have a championship right now and he was picked second round you know middle so so that’s why you kick yourself 5 Seconds To Go Williamson on Jackson for the second left floater is Good from

Reggie Jackson what a sweet move against Zion Williamson tough shot joic Leading The Way with 23 points 12 assists and eight rebounds he’s two board shy of his 12th triple double Jamal Murray from Deep that’s his second three ball I think Murray under normal circumstances might be an All-Star but

It’s hard this year with the number of games missed as Zion scores in his foul shot clock at seven they go to Zion 14 points make it 16 as Williamson starting to get going your glorious what percentage Syracuse math uh that I can’t give you um you got

A calculator that no you said Syracuse DeAndre Jordan with the slam but Denver shooting 56% 43% from three Brown and there’s Jordan got the offensive rebound and the nice pass boy good one of them and he’s giv them some good minutes Zion hangs count it and one as

Of late he’s been the second hardest worker in terms of his analytical metric output lately that’s exactly what they need from him and they need more of it quite Frank BL it matters for game planning practice camaraderie chemistry execution you got to be used to playing

With the guys to get the results that you want he say FedEx field has great WS do they terrific waves people love waves here’s Zion with the slam Williamson up to 26 points now Denver is plus 11 on the glass by the way Zion is 14 points in the quarter

26 for the game yic drills it five game East Coast trip as a steal by Trey Murphy Williamson in transition with the slam 30-point night for Zion Williamson one more home game but then the Michael Malone said the next 10 are going to really Define him in some toughest

Stretch of the season for the Denver Nuggets coming up the guy that’s going to touch the ball the most play the most and then I’d say the Clippers I I mean the way they’re playing right now veteran team um they’re uh they’re they’re good I mean they’re they’re

Showing it well the Denver nugg look like more than a contender tonight they look like another championship Squad with their Offense [Applause] oh
