In the last seven games that he has played, has twenty-eight points average. Actually, he is giving a new aspect to Pelicans and some hopes to climb positions on the league table. So it is certainly one of the best movements on this winter market (in which Lakers did not make a move).
To make things worse, the Crypto.com Arena were with a very critical attitude to their players. LeBron was also whistled by “yellow supporters” for his performance. Both LeBron James and Russell Westbrook lost 14 balls out 23 in all the game. Also, Westbrook was disastrous in plenty of field shoots. It is very unusual that LeBron was whistled. He was the best of his team with 32 points, 3 assists and 6 rebounds. Despite of the good performance of LeBron James and McCollum, the MVP of the match was for Brandon Ingram.
