My Player of the Game: Jonas Valanciunas

Takeaways

• CJ McCollum was the leading scorer tonight, but guess who scored the second and third most points? Herb Jones and Jose' Alvarado.
• This was a really balanced game with everyone playing very well.
• Jonas Valanciunas is still a beast, leading all rebounders with 12.
• The Pelicans defense was on point tonight as the team only gave up 85 points in the game.
• Everything was clicking for the Pels in their first game at home for the new year.
• Zion got a tech called on him, and he needs to get mad and get more of those.
