Reeves' Historic Performance Highlights Pelicans' Loss

Antonio Reeves, a rookie for the New Orleans Pelicans, made a significant impact by scoring 34 points in a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, despite the Pelicans losing 128-100. This performance marked the highest points scored by a second-round rookie without a turnover since 1985, highlighting Reeves' efficiency and potential. Previously known for his collegiate success at Kentucky, Reeves has demonstrated his ability to contribute significantly at the NBA level, potentially securing more minutes even when the team's stars return. His performance was complemented by Ty Jerome of the Cavaliers, who scored a career-high 29 points, leading Cleveland to their best start in franchise history at 16-1. The Pelicans will look to capitalize on Reeves' shooting skills as they navigate injuries and aim for better results in upcoming games.
