Jose Alvarado scored a career-high 38 points while hitting a career-best eight 3-pointers to lift the Pelicans to a 121-106 win over the Denver Nuggets on Monday, December 4.
"It's amazing. Like, it could never get old," Alvarado, who represents Puerto Rico internationally despite having been born in the USA, said.
"It is my second year and every time they scream out 'Jose' and do the chant or just show me so much love, it keeps giving me goosebumps.
"And it makes me want to keep playing as hard as I can."
