Jeremiah Fears Drops 40 and the Pelicans Just Torched the Jazz Like Nothing We've Ever Seen
Jeremiah Fears came out of nowhere and reminded everyone in the NBA that some nights, one player can just take over a game completely. The New Orleans Pelicans' guard dropped a career-high 40 points and led his team to an absolute rout of the Utah Jazz, and the efficiency on display was something special.
A Career Night Nobody Saw Coming
This wasn't just 40 points in a close game. Fears was operating at another level, and the Pelicans' offense looked unstoppable when he had the ball. For a guy to put up that kind of scoring load and lead his team to a dominant victory this early in the season says everything about his development and what New Orleans might have brewing.
