Takeaways
- TREY MURPHY IS BACK, BABY!
- The Pelicans' defense won them this game.
- The contest was broadcast on Bounce and there were NBA announcers for it -- they were obsessed with the Knicks winning this game so it was satisfying that they didn't get the W.
- Brandon Ingram and Zion Williamson were the anchors for this game and the rest of the team rallied to bring home the win, including Murphy's three-point shooting.
- Josh Hart is still gritty, and I miss him being on our team.
- Every time the Knicks went on a run in this game, the Pelicans had an answer, which is an improvement from things we saw earlier in the season.

He also scored 22 points in 29 minutes of play. * Free throw shooting was huge for the Pels as they shot 90% from the charity stripe. Zion went 11-13 and Dejounte Murray was perfect going 11-11. * Trey Murphy III was out because of tendinitis in both his legs. Murray was back starting in the lineup .
