Brandon Ingram drained a 17-foot jumper with 5.2 seconds left and Herbert Jones blocked Anfernee Simons' driving attempt just before the buzzer as the New Orleans Pelicans notched a 105-103 comeback victory over the host Portland Trail Blazers on Friday night.

Reserve Jordan Hawkins scored 15 of his team-best 24 points in the fourth quarter for the Pelicans, who recovered from a 16-point, second-quarter deficit to win their second straight game.

Ingram had 21 points and eight rebounds, CJ McCollum scored 20 points and Zion Williamson had 16 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists and three blocked shots for New Orleans. Williamson missed the Pelicans' season opener Wednesday against the Chicago Bulls due to illness.

Jerami Grant scored 34 points but just had two in the fourth quarter when Portland was outscored 30-19. Simons registered 24 points and seven assists, Scoot Henderson scored 15 points off the bench and Deandre Ayton had 10 points and 15 rebounds.

New Orleans played without Dejounte Murray, who fractured his left hand during the opener. The Pelicans also remain without Trey Murphy III (hamstring).

The Trail Blazers were missing Shaedon Sharpe (shoulder), Robert Williams III (hamstring) and Matisse Thybulle (knee).

The teams play again in Portland on Sunday afternoon.
