Jonas Valanciunas scored a season-high 29 points and grabbed 13 rebounds, leading the New Orleans Pelicans to their third straight win over the Charlotte Hornets with a 112-107 victory.
Zion Williamson returned to the floor after sitting out a game, contributing 21 points and 11 rebounds to the Pelicans' win.
C.J. McCollum had a significant fourth quarter, scoring 13 of his 19 points during this period.
