My Player of the Game: CJ McCollum

Takeaways

• CJ McCollum and the bench put the Pelicans on their back and dominated against the "better team" Heat.
• It was a very impressive win since the Pels were without Brandon Ingram.
• Jose Alvarado and Naji Marshall were HUGE with knocking down threes and stellar defense.
• Christian James McCollum showed up and showed out.
• Herb Jones played incredible defense LIKE USUAL and held Mr. Talkative Jimmy Butler to 17 points.
• The Pelicans have six straight games at home now. Should be fun!
