Strong shooting night in loss McCollum closed Monday's 106-103 loss to the Hornets with 27 points (10-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six assists and one steal in 34 minutes.
Impact McCollum did his part in this one, finishing with 20-plus points for his eighth straight contest while shooting over 50 percent from the field.

It's reasonable to expect the Pelicans to continue to lean heavily on McCollum's scoring attack with less than a month remaining in the regular season.
