Rips away two steals in 22 minutes Alvarado closed with five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Monday's 122-90 loss to the Celtics.
The Scoop: Alvarado didn't log a single second through the Pelicans' first two games of the season, but with New Orleans showing a lackadaisical effort on defense Monday night, Grand Theft Alvarado was finally tagged in. He did do a good job of shifting their energy and effort on defense, so it'll be interesting to see if he can remain in the rotation for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. Oct 28 4:16 ET |
