Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

NEW ORLEANS -- — Jose Alvarado had a go-ahead three-point play on a reverse layup with 31 seconds left and the New Orleans Pelicans outlasted the Charlotte Hornets 98-94 on Sunday night.
With New Orleans down 94-93 after Nick Smith Jr .'s 3-pointer, Alvarado scored on the drive and drew a foul on DaQuan Jeffries to set up the three-point play. Jeffries then threw the ball away, and Keion Brooks Jr . iced it with a layup.
Brooks led New Orleans with 17 points. Antonio Reeves added 16, Kelly Olynyk had 13 and Alvarado and Jeremiah Robinson-Earl each had 12.
Miles Bridges led Charlotte with 20 points, and Smith had 19. Jusuf Nurkic had 13 points and 12 rebounds. The Hornets have lost five straight.

Pelicans: Scoring leader Zion Williamson (low back contusion) missed his fifth straight game. CJ McCollum (right foot contusion) sat out for the third game in a row.
Key moment Alvarado gave New Orleans the lead with his three-point play.
