The New Orleans Pelicans delivered a strong performance, overcoming the Philadelphia 76ers 112-99, with Karlo Matkovic leading the way, scoring 19 points and dishing out 8 assists. The Pelicans showcased their shooting skills, particularly from beyond the arc, connecting on 42.9% of their three-point attempts. Rookie Yves Missi added 16 points and 9 rebounds, while Antonio Reeves contributed with 17 points, including five three-pointers.

Despite the win, the Pelicans were without two-time All-Star Zion Williamson, who has missed three consecutive games due to a back injury. The Sixers struggled to find their rhythm, concluding a disappointing six-game road trip with only one win. Key players such as Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyrese Maxey were absent, leaving Philadelphia's scoring efforts reliant on Justin Edwards and Jared Butler, both of whom managed 19 points.
