Chrissy's Takeaways:

• CJ McCollum dropped 50 points on the Wizards in a spectacular performance where he made 10 three-pointers in the game. He was cooking from the first quarter and you could tell something special was going to happen that night.
• The Pelicans snapped their 11-game losing streak by beating Washington, who had six wins coming into the game.
• One of the biggest keys to the victory for New Orleans was that the team only had seven turnovers the entire game.
• Rookie Yves Missi was spectacular again, finishing the game with 11 rebounds and one block.
• Jose Alvarado was back on the court after being sidelined for six weeks from a hamstring injury, and he immediately brought energy and a defensive presence to the team.
• Dejounte Murray had 12 assists, which was great, because he struggled offensively.
• The Pelicans look to get another win against the Wizards on Sunday on the road.
