My Player of the Game: Zion Williamson
Takeaways
- Once again, Zion was active on both ends of the court and he is proving that he is the Pelicans best player.
- Jonas Valančiūnas was huge in this win. He had 17 points, 10 boards, and was all over the Bucks defensively.
- Herb Jones put on an absolute defensive clinic this game. DPOY.
- New Orleans three-point shooting was atrocious in the first half.
- Trey Murphy had 15 points and 11 rebounds -- great game by him.

Yay ! * Jordan Poole was back tonight and he made a world of difference. His three-point shooting, confidence, and leadership were a ton of help. * Derik Queen is a problem for all other 29 teams in this league. This kid has a vision that hasn't been seen in any recent rookies, especially for a center. * Bryce McGowens was the second-leading scorer in this game with 23 points. He's stepped up in a big way. * In surprising news, Zion Williamson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in what seems like years that Zion's health is actually improving much sooner than projected. Whether this is a sign of Zion pushing himself or James Borrego pushing him, it's nice to see. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
