CJ McCollum is not looking at this as a lost season for the struggling New Orleans Pelicans. When the Pelicans play the host Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night, McCollum will be coming off his second 45-plus-point performance this month.

The Pelicans came back down 25 points and defeated the Jazz, and it was CJ McCollum who made franchise history during the win.

CJ McCollum scored six of his 45 points in overtime and the New Orleans Pelicans orchestrated the largest comeback in franchise history, overcoming a 25-point deficit to beat Utah Jazz 123-119.

The New Orleans Pelicans and Philadelphia 76ers have had promising seasons derailed by multiple injuries to stars. On Friday night, CJ McCollum boosted the Pelicans and his trade value. McCollum scored 38 points and shot 13-of-24 as the shorthanded Pelicans beat the Sixers 123-115.

And the New Orleans Pelicans pulled off the largest comeback in franchise history. As injury-ridden, star-crossed and generally miserable as much of their season has been, the Pelicans don't seem inclined to give up.
