McCollum ended the Bucks’ chances of a comeback with this long-range three-ball dagger to finish the night with 25 points. If McCollum plays like he played against the Bucks, and Zion stays healthy and second-leading scorer Brandon Ingram returns in time to get into playoff shape, this will be a team other teams will look to avoid in the West.
The Pelicans continue to float above the Play-In position while aiming for a top-four finish that would secure home-court advantage in the first round. It will probably be decided until the end in the West and this defeat of the Bucks makes everything a little more interesting in the race for second place.
