My Player of the Game: Zion Williamson

Takeaways

• Zion put on an absolute clinic. He was unstoppable, and no one from the Pistons could slow him down whatsoever.
• CJ McCollum picked up where he left off against the Heat, scoring 23 points and draining threes.
• Herb Jones better be first-team all-defense or we riot.
• Trey Murphy scored eight points, missing every three-pointer he took. He only is shooting deep threes for some reason instead of taking a dribble in closer to the three-point line. He can certainly hit those, but this is something he needs to tweak.
• The Clippers lost today, which means the Pelicans are only half a game back for the #4 seed.
• Join the Pelicans at home for the next six games as they take on some very good teams -- OKC, Milwaukee, & Boston.
