The seal has finally been broken in the CJ McCollum era.
After two false starts, the Pelicans and McCollum picked up their first victory together with a 30-point rout of the Toronto Raptors on Monday in the New Orleans version of the Valentine’s Day Massacre.
It’s an overused term, but it was a complete team victory.
Especially when you consider that Tony Snell finally got some run. Snell wasn’t the most high-profile component of the Portland trade but should prove very valuable in his own right.
We’re talking about a career 40 percent three-point shooter (Snell went 2-5 on 3PA against Toronto).
