CJ McCollum: Strong game from deep in win McCollum closed Sunday's 136-104 win over Sacramento with 24 points (9-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes.
The Scoop: McCollum only narrowly exceeded his season average in scoring (21.3 points per game), but his output was more valuable than usual thanks to the stellar shooting at all three levels. The veteran point guard ended up playing fewer than 30 minutes for the first time since Dec. 7, but that was a byproduct of the Pelicans taking a 28-point lead into the final quarter. Feb 6 3:38 ET |
