Boston Celtics vs New Orleans Pelicans - Full Game Highlights - November 18, 2022 NBA Season

The Celtics nine game win streak began inside the Smoothing Kings Center in New Orleans tonight. They'll try and match it here. Zagzar with the veteran, the crew chief tonight. Here's Brandon Ingram beginning the game with a drive. It's been good. Green is one of the young coaches in the league that does not get a lot of attention. I mean really this whole team. Remember they had a bad start last year, then they were as good as almost anybody in the Western Conference in the second half of last year making the playoff. Because they've got balance units, they can post up like that. High for 18 types of shooting nights. Don't let him get going. He slumped early, but he's coming off two big games. Jalen takes Murphy with him. Leaving the lead in true shooting percentage, which is the amalgam that includes free throw shooting. Ingram gets the three the other way. Celtics number one scoring team in the league, far and away number one in the first half. Grant Williams on the drive. Now it's getting late, so Jalen will take the three. Hot hand early. Oh yeah. Celtics when there were two of them. Ingram. Ingram staying away from the play. Tough matchup for Grant Williams. Celtics are just reigning. He will grow quickly. You simply cannot win in the NBA with the other teams making 10, 12 more threes. Cross over to the left. How do you deal with a player? And it's not like he doesn't play well. When he's in there, his eye on his dominance. It happens. CJ McCollum a little more comfortable that time. You'll win this game. Back-to-back threes by Ingram and CJ McCollum. Tatum answers. Tatum, so comfortable. Half minutes. Ingram draws the ooze. Multiple opportunities to shoot. Out got another great look. Derek White over Daniels. Looking at that three. Tatum. And Houser kept that one alive. Gives Derek White another three. That's four of them. In Atlanta. Brogdon. The counterpunch. Brogdon and Cornett. Two-man game. Houser on the attack. The balance shooter makes a difference. Houser actually got his hand on that, but he gets it up. Lillard. Tatum is working for this bucket. The work pays off. Tatum misses everything. Alvarado finds Marshall. Another one. Valanciunas gets away from Cornett. And gets the foul. Second rebound for Valanciunas. Seven-footer is running. Deep one for McCollum. Literally just now. Oh, wow. I had the whole thing planned about Pelican. The way you see the build, but this one's better. How do you see that build? And test your defense. Alvarado creates that look for Jones. The game in Chicago, where they will head next. Jalen Brown muscles his way in on Alvarado. Creates that room for Derek White. Another walk. Harassed by Nick. No time on the shot clock. Celtics stay patient. Jalen drives and scores. Marshall runs to the corner. Alvarado calls his own number. And this is by a mile. But the putback. Derek White. And the Celtics are fourth. The first half threes. Celtics had a bunch of those in the record-breaking game in New York. Grant Williams makes the extra pass. Jalen loses. Marshall gets to the cup. Scored. And a foul. And here's a clean look for a guy you don't want to give a clean look to. But Tatum stays ordinary from three. But Al Horford gets a rebound. Swatted on the putback. Five seconds for C.J. McCollum. Got it. And then he ends up with 38 or whatever. That's a clean look for Jalen Brown. Alvarado. There's a ton of guys that can do that. Jalen Brown runs it in. Three. Celtics turn around and get a layup. We've got three minutes of shutout defense here so far. The Celtics will begin the half. Until now. Al's had eight. We're lost out there. Al Horford dominates to start this third quarter. Pelicans have missed seven of eight to begin the third. Derek White's very aggressive here. But had nowhere to go. Nance has been more efficient than Valanciunas tonight. Jones to finish it. Obviously, Larry Nance Jr. His dad was a beast to the Cavs. Payton didn't even look at the rim. Which is fine when Derek White is shooting. Derek White driving and spinning. Oh, man. Jalen. Gives Hauser his first three of the night. That community is so strong. Here is Malcolm Brogdon. Derek White. Have a night. Jalen gets a little tricky with a handle. There's some flashbacks to the playoffs last year. Marshall returned to Nance. A pass by Jalen. Back-to-back turnovers. Devontae Graham. Rotate him on the bench. Marshall. Valanciunas wants to go to work on Cornett. Looking for the cutter. Of course, it's Al Jorado. Could have his first 30-point game tonight. Al forcing Valanciunas into the bottom. Grant Williams shooting. Had not been there tonight. But he had the Celtics still up by double figures here on the road with eight minutes to go. That's a good look for Sam Hauser. Bulls going down to the wire with Orlando. They won't play again until Monday either. Jones run off the three-point line. Gets to the cup. Al turns it over. And this is how the Pelicans would jump back in the game. In Boston turnovers. Now 11 in the second half. Ingram on the gallop for three. Jones on Tatum. Tatum to drive. Grant from his corner office for three. McCollum. Black from behind. Derrick White got his hands on that. Selby's running. Jalen for Al. With a big head flush with the right hand. And seen it time and time again here in New Orleans. Pelicans starting to run low on time to get stops. Ingram for three. Right to Al. Selby still calmly into a new 14. Jalen creates room for himself. Gets his own rebound. Keeps it alive. Third time the charm. Oh, big time I guess. Three possession game. Grant down. In the Pelicans lead it 2-0. And 7-5. That was it. Tatum somehow finds Grant Williams. Closed the show. Rises and gets it to go. Jalen driving on McCollum and a finish. Mix and match. All the different shirts and ties. Just two jackets. One of those old school reversible ones. Ingram trying to throw his head back. He misses the three. Nance has been good. He's better than Valanciunas tonight. Selby's will head into Chicago 13-3. And they return as McCollum knocks down that three. And it has gone on through this first quarter of the season as if none of those things happened. And the Selby's on the road. Crews to their ninth consecutive win.
