John Butler’s perfect shooting display leads Pelicans to 107-71 victory over Thunder

Eight New Orleans Pelicans were out for the final game of summer league against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Pels won going away anyways, posting a 107-71 victory.

Despite no Jose Alvarado, Trey Murphy III, Naji Marshall, Dyson Daniels, E.J. Liddell, Daeqwon Plowden, Jared Harper and Karlo Matkovic, the Pelicans still had plenty of firepower to hit triple digits in the scoring column for a third time in the past week.

Easily the most impressive individual display on the evening, John Butler Jr. didn’t miss a field goal attempt. In scoring a team-high 25 points, he shot 9 for 9 from the field and 6 for 6 from 3-point range.
