New Orleans Pelicans21/12
In first extended minutes of December, Jahlil Okafor rolls to 17-point outing vs. Bucks | New Orleans Pelicans
MILWAUKEE – Measured by total minutes played this season, Jahlil Okafor entered Wednesday’s game in Milwaukee as his team’s “14th man,” a deep reserve who’s had difficulty getting onto the court, especially amid a loaded New Orleans frontcourt described by many as the NBA’s best collection of big men. However, coaches frequently point out that during the marathon-like, 82-game campaign, everyone eventually gets a chance to contribute – a cliché Okafor proved true during a 123-115 defeat to the Bucks.
