My Player of the Game: Zion Williamson

Takeaways

• Zion Williamson came to play and to show the world he's not all the names he's being called.
• Without BI, the Pelicans don't win this game because he was money in the fourth quarter.
• CJ McCollum brought the consistency that the Pels needed.
• Jonas Valanciunas was WORKING this game and he showed up in a big way that the Pelicans needed.
• Trey Murphy has yet to find a rhythm with his three-point shot, but that will come with more playing minutes.
• This was a big game for the Pels to come out and show that the Lakers game isn't who they really are.
• And...Herb Jones is him on defense.
