Thankfully, referees don’t overturn foul call on Doncic. BI shooting three big free throws. – 10:57 PM

Brandon Ingram ALMOST had an opportunity for a 4-point play. Luka Doncic fouls him on a 3-point attempt. Jason Kidd challenging the call.
If BI gets to shoot, he’ll have a chance to push the Pelicans lead to 104-87 with 2:01 left. – 10:54 PM
