November 24, 2021 by Hoops Hype

The Washington Wizards (11-6) play against the New Orleans Pelicans (16-16) at Smoothie King Center

Game Time: 8:00 PM EST on Wednesday November 24, 2021

Washington Wizards 50, New Orleans Pelicans 72 (Half)

What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Among numerous positive developments, Brandon Ingram looking a lot more like himself tonight, up to 14 pts and 4/4 on free throws. His attempts per game from foul line are down from each of the past few seasons, as is the case with a lot of scorers in #NBA – 9:09 PM
Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
Pelicans already with a high for points in a half this season.
Previous first half high was 62.
Previous second half high was 65.
It’s 70-48 with 1:11 left before halftime. – 9:05 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Davis Bertans is back and taking threes, just not making them yet. He’s 1-for-7 from deep in the first half. – 9:05 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Jonas Valanciunas caught that Temple fastball — through traffic — one handed and nearly scored in the same motion.
Man’s got skills. – 9:03 PM
Scott Kushner @ScottDKushner
Easily the best the Pelicans have played all season. – 9:01 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Soooo… the Wizards are now down 24 points to the Pelicans in the 2nd quarter. 11-0 run by NOP. – 8:58 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Herb Jones gets the steal. Comes up with the offensive rebound on the other end. Makes a sweet pass to Devonte’ Graham, who hits the three and then another one.
It’s another first half thrashing of the Wizards as the Pelicans have opened up a 62-38 lead. – 8:58 PM
Ava Wallace @avarwallace
Easily the worst the Wizards have looked in a first half all year. Pels lead 62-38. Wiz up to 11 turnovers – 8:57 PM
Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
The Pelicans are up 62-38 over the Washington Wizards.
That’s it. That’s the tweet. – 8:57 PM

Points in the paint
Wizards: 18
Pelicans: 28 – 8:54 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
To the surprise of no one who’s watched the last two seasons, Willy Hernangomez again providing a spark and very productive, 6 pts in 8 mins – 8:52 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
The Wizards are up to 10 turnovers with 6:02 remaining in the second quarter. The team looks out of sync and, obviously, has made some careless passes. The Pels have converted those 10 turnovers into 12 points. The Pels lead 51-35. – 8:52 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
The Wizards have 10 turnovers already with 6:02 left in the first half. They have had major trouble taking care of the ball in recent weeks. Pels lead by 16. – 8:51 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Brandon Ingram laid out hard onto the floor for a loose ball and now he out-battles Montrezl Harrell for the rebound.
Love to see it. – 8:46 PM
New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBA
TOMAS STEAL.
HART DUNK.
AND ONE.

When’s the last time you seen the Pelicans get a backcourt steal? – 8:45 PM
Cody Taylor @CodyTaylorNBA
The Magic led 74-67 but the Wizards ended the third quarter on a 15-3 run to take an 82-77 lead into the final period. – 8:42 PM
Washington Wizards @WashWizards
One quarter in the books.

After One 🦾 pic.twitter.com/NZv0Wy6vfl – 8:39 PM

Will Guillory @WillGuillory
End of the 1st: Pelicans 36, Wizards 27
Valanciunas 11 pts & 6 rebs
Ingram 6 pts
Hart 4 pts
Pels fell one point shy of tying their season-high for points in a quarter despite going 1-6 on 3s.
Turns out the offense operates better when your guards are playing well. – 8:39 PM
Ava Wallace @avarwallace
After one (year), the Pelicans lead the Wizards 36-27.
Dinwiddie: 8p
Beal: 5p
Pels have 18 in the paint
Valanciunas: 11p 6r – 8:39 PM
Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_Lopez
Pelicans dropped 36 points in the first quarter. That’s tied for the most they’ve score in the opening 12 minutes this season and second-most in any quarter this year. – 8:39 PM
Josh Robbins @JoshuaBRobbins
Wes Unseld Jr. wanted his team to avoid another double-digit deficit, but the Wizards were badly outplayed in the first quarter. The Pels lead 36-27 entering the second. NOLA scored 18 of its points in the paint — a significant number for any quarter. – 8:38 PM
Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Wizards trail the Pelicans 36-27 after the first quarter. Dinwiddie leads Wiz with 8 pts, Valanciunas tops all scorers with 11. – 8:38 PM
Washington Wizards @WashWizards
The easy find 😎
@Kyle Kuzma → @Montrezl Harrell pic.twitter.com/CLQ1FiMkJy – 8:38 PM

Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Nickeil Alexander-Walker looking sharp early. A couple of good scores and now he set up Kira Lewis nicely on the cut.
Was worried about all the starters resting but Herb, but the team survived those minutes. Pelicans up 36-27 on the Wizards after first quarter. – 8:37 PM
Washington Wizards @WashWizards
The bank is open late!

New Orleans why have I heard four different songs from A Star Is Born in three different establishments since arriving – 8:33 PM

Chase Hughes @ChaseHughesNBCS
Interesting lineup with Davis Bertans entering the game for the first time in his return from injury:
Neto, Bertans, Avdija, Kuzma, Harrell – 8:30 PM
Quinton Mayo @RealQuintonMayo
Davis Bertans checks in for the first time in virtually eternity — Herbert Jones scores on him then Bertans comes down and misses his first 3P attempt of the game. – 8:30 PM
Ava Wallace @avarwallace
Davis Bertans checks in for the first time since Nov. 1 – 8:29 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
By 2021-22 standards, this 1Q is a free throw festival, with Pels and Wizards already combining to take 16 foul shots in first 8 minutes. Incidentally, Beal and Dinwiddie rank No. 1 and 3 in entire #NBA in free throw %. Valanciunas is 27th and climbing at 4/4 so far – 8:27 PM
New Orleans Pelicans @PelicansNBA
turn around. swish.
📺: @BallySportsNO

Scott Kushner @ScottDKushner
Josh Hart is one of the few guys on this team who has consistently proven they’re capable of a larger role. – 8:24 PM
Oleh Kosel @OlehKosel
Through the first five minutes against the Wizards, the Pelicans have not had a turnover nor given up an offensive rebound.
Fucking glorious. – 8:23 PM
Ava Wallace @avarwallace
19-5 start for the Pelicans and that’s enough for Wes Unseld, TO. New Orleans is 6-6 from the line already, getting eeeeeasy looks in the paint – 8:17 PM
Quinton Mayo @RealQuintonMayo
Pelicans come out 19-5.
Not great. – 8:17 PM

He’s already guarded a slew of All-Stars less than 20 games into his #NBA career. Tonight’s assignment for Herbert Jones is Bradley Beal. Josh Hart on Dinwiddie, while Graham gets KCP, who is primarily a spot-up shooter – 8:12 PM
Washington Wizards @WashWizards
The focus. Let’s go.
