New Orleans Pelicans vs. LA Clippers Pregame Report 3/15/2024

The Pelicans look to bounce back tonight against the LA Clippers in a big Western Conference matchup at the Smoothie King Center Welcome to our Pelicans pregame report presented by ibata Amar and Summers New Orleans will look to turn defensive stops into Quick baskets and focus on 05 basketball here’s CJ mccolm

On what the Pelicans need to do to rebound from that loss on Wednesday let’s get off to a better start a sustain a high level of of physicality throughout the game um I understand that it’s going to be another tough half court physical game where there’s a lot

Of switching uh Pace may not be as high because both teams play a little slower um against each other historically so we got to take advantage of opportunities and and uh really get back in transition defense in general will be key against a Clippers Squad who is third in the

League and offensive rating and they’re one of the best three-point shooting teams they’re second in the league in percentage they average 13 threes a game defensively however the Pelicans they’re still number one at defending the outside shot it is going to be a tough physical matchup that the Pelicans

Usually play very well against the Clippers they lead the series 2 to one I think we’re just a good defensive team to be honest with you we’ve been great all year defensively especially in the half court uh we’re good in picking rols uh pretty good at protecting the rim

Trying to get teams off the three-point line and making them play um in the yard but you know for us it’s about sticking to our principles every night and you know being the top five top 10 defensive team currently the Clippers are fourth in the Western Conference standings the

Pelicans are fifth they’re three games behind the Clippers and a game ahead of Sacramento in six got to get wins at this point in the season we’ll see you at the Smoothie Kings Center 7:00 for that tip or you can watch it on Valley Sports New Orleans or tune in w995
