Pelicans' CJ McCollum: Stellar performance not enough

McCollum closed with 30 points (12-25 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and two steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 121-109 loss to the Grizzlies.

McCollum missed all five of his three-point attempts but was still able to register his second 30-plus point outing since joining the Pelicans. In four games with his new squad, the veteran guard has averaged 26.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.8 minutes per game. McCollum will look to continue his solid play Thursday against the Mavericks, which is the Pelicans' final contest before the All-Star break.
