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.
