My Player of the Game: Jordan "The Rookie" Hawkins

Takeaways

• The Pelicans honestly looked incredible in the first half despite having CJ McCollum
• Why do the Pels hate the third quarter so much?
• The third quarter was a disaster and the Pels lost their lead and never got it back
• Jordan Hawkins is playing beyond his experience. He finished with 31 points, seven rebounds, and seven made three-pointers
• Matt Ryan is an incredible shooter.
• Zion and BI played with a lot of energy tonight and the Pelicans are going to need that with CJ out right now.
