Jonas Valanciunas wasn't exactly a marksman when he entered the NBA in 2012. In fact, in his first five seasons in the league, he went 1-of-4 from 3-point range.
But those days are long gone.
Valanciunas hit his first seven 3-pointers on Monday night -- all in the first half -- as he helped lead the New Orleans Pelicans to a 123-104 win over the LA Clippers.
The 6-foot-11, 265-pound bruiser has slowly started to add the three-point shot to his game since 2017, but he's never had a night like Tuesday when he scored a career-high 39 points to go along with 15 rebounds.
