Former Alabama men’s basketball star Herb Jones had quite the night on Wednesday for New Orleans as the Pelicans defeated the Memphis Grizzlies in overtime, 138-131.
Jones led the charge for the Pelicans delivering a career-high 35 points while nailing five three-pointers which was also a career-high.
The former Crimson Tide star also recorded seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks, and made 8-of-9 free throws. Jones became the second player in NBA history to have at least 30 points, five three-pointers, and three blocks in a game (DeMarcus Cousins).
Jones finished an incredible +20 against the Grizzlies and was an instrumental part in the Pelicans’ come-from-behind victory.
