My Player of the Game: Antonio Reeves
Takeaways
- If you didn't know who Austin Reeves was before this game, well you should now. The rookie scored 34 points against the best team in the NBA right now.
- The Pels were without Brandon Ingram, Trey Murphy III, Dejounte Murray, CJ McCollum, Herb Jones, Jose Alvarado, and Zion Williamson in this game. So there's that.
- BI and Trey Murphy will hopefully be available for Friday's home game against the Warriors, and it's got to be close to time for McCollum and Jones to be coming back as well.
- New Orleans is 4-12 on the season, and are the second to last team in the Western Conference standings.
- It can only get better from here.
