Pelicans vs. Jazz Pregame Report 1/23/2024
The Pelicans host another Western Conference opponent in the SKC tonight in the 10th ranked Utah Jazz the Pelicans come into this one in fifth place welcome into our Pelicans pregame report presented by ibata I’m Aon Summers the Pelicans have had three days off between their last game Friday
Against the Suns and they’ve used it to take a day of rest and then get up and down the court and work on some offensive and defensive Concepts obviously practice matters but um it’s it’s it’s more for you to kind of figure out how to get better little
Conditioning little drills that you can run little execution um that we can kind of focus on whether that’s spots on the floor whether that’s our spacing or whether that’s our initiation of the offense so I think we worked on all those things we’ve gotten better defensively at our communication and
Just tightened up some stuff to make us more successful and we’ve been great defensively this year but we want to continue to improve um it was good to get a day of rest and then we had two good days of work so what we want to see
Is our team come out with force with energy and playing with the spirit that we know we we play with for the majority of the season and take advantage of being at home the next few few games one area of focus was getting the ball into Zion Williamson’s hands especially
Earlier in the game he leads the team with 22 points a night and is shooting 59% from the floor it helps us with our spacing um on misses got we guys play we got a little bit more freedom but really when we on makes when we can get a a
Play call putting the ball in his hands a bit more the the first few minutes of the game it helps spacing it’s hard to come off bi it’s hard to to help off CJ and now he’s attacking and finding guys and getting us off to early starts the
Main threat for the jazz is Lori marinan he leads the team with 24 points a night and nine boards overall the team is ranked second in the league in rebounding which leads to the fact that they’re first and second chance points crashing the glass boxing out is going
To be a big Focus for the Pelicans in this one if they want to gain a little more ground in the Western Conference standings it all starts at 7:00 at the Smoothie Kings Center or you can watch it on B Sports New Orleans or tune in 995 WN
