Takeaways
- With this win, if the Pelicans win on Sunday vs. the Lakers, they will clinch a playoff spot.
- Christian James McCollum made seven three pointers after making nine three pointers the night before.
- CJ also became the single-season record holder for made 3s. McCollum passed Peja Stojaković at 232 tonight.
- CJ had an outstanding game, but so did Trey Murphy III, Dyson Daniels, and Zion Williamson.
- Dyson lead the team in boards and assists.
- Zion had an incredible second half to help the team.
- Jonas Valanciunas was vital in the win. Every time Willie Green tried to go small and the Warriors punished the Pelicans, Jonas came right in and turned things around.

Yay ! * Jordan Poole was back tonight and he made a world of difference. His three-point shooting, confidence, and leadership were a ton of help. * Derik Queen is a problem for all other 29 teams in this league. This kid has a vision that hasn't been seen in any recent rookies, especially for a center. * Bryce McGowens was the second-leading scorer in this game with 23 points. He's stepped up in a big way. * In surprising news, Zion Williamson is questionable for Sunday's game at the Chicago Bulls. This is the first time in what seems like years that Zion's health is actually improving much sooner than projected. Whether this is a sign of Zion pushing himself or James Borrego pushing him, it's nice to see. Follow @TheKneaux on X, and follow me there too, @SportsChrissy.
