Takeaways
- Hi. Christian James McCollum made nine three pointers. NINE!
- Zion Williamson missed part of the game due to a hurt wrist, yet still managed to have 31 points and kill the Kings in the paint.
- Trey Murphy's CLUTCH three-point shooting has been huge against the Kings and Suns.
- Jose Alvarado has been vital in tonight's win.
- The Pelicans have the #1 and #6 three-point shooters in the league, a first-team all-defensive player, and a freak athlete and we’re in sixth place., which is confusing.
- If the Pelicans win their last two games of the season, they will clinch the sixth seed in the Western Conference.
