Takeaways

• It was incredibly hard to pick just one player of the game but I picked Jonas because he has been the most consistent lately at scoring and rebounds. He's been a top 10 center in the league without a doubt, and his hustle is infectious.
• Zion Williamson was banging on the boards harder than he has all season. It was great to see. Plus, he was attacking the rim with fource.
• Brandon Ingram was BACK after only scoring eight points against the Hornets. He could have scored over 30 easily, but because of the huge lead the Pelicans had, he didn't get quite as many minutes as usual.
• CJ McCollum brought the heat from behind the three point line.
• The Pelicans actually hit a franchise-record 22 three-pointers field goals against the Spurs.
• Naji Marshall hit several big threes, and he also led the team with assists (7).
• New Orleans' next game will be on Tuesday, Dec. 19 at home against the Memphis Grizzlies and Ja Morant.
