Jimmer Fredette #32

Houston Rockets 98 (3-1) at New Orleans Pelicans 117 (2-2)

Jimmer lead the bench in points for the Pelicans during their Tuesday game against the Houston Rockets. After a slow start in the first half Jimmer finished strong in the fourth quarter scoring 11 of his 15 points to lead the Pelicans to a 117-98 victory over the Houston Rockets in their preseason home opener.

Jimmer on his performance:

I didn’t take a ton of shots in the first half because they were playing differently and we were getting other guys shots. So in the second half, I was able to get more open looks. When you see one go in, you just continue to let it roll.
