It’s all about positivity tonight in the NBA:
—26-year-old, Daeqwon Plowden, called up from the G League, scores 19 in his NBA debut.
—Pelicans have their best win of a tough season ending with a Trey Murphy game-saving block.
—Raptors beat the Celtics. Just needed to get that in – 10:33 PM

Pels-Mavs was a perfect example of how the NBA has never been more talented.
No Luka, Kyrie, Lively, Zion or Ingram. No problem.
Awesome game. Dejounte Murray and Trey Murphy vs. Klay Thompson and Spencer Dinwiddie down the stretch absolutely ruled. – 10:29 PM

Trey Murphy is known for his shooting, but he just made a huge defensive play, blocking the Mavs to preserve the lead. Pels win 119-116, coming back in the final minutes after trailing 105-98 – 10:24 PM

Trey Murphy’s star turn is really here. He’s been sensational the last few weeks.
The shooting was always there. The athleticism was always there. He’s figuring out the little stuff now. The tricks to get to the line. The ways to punish defenses for throwing more at you. – 10:05 PM

Trey Murphy showing Naji Marshall a dribble package that may be new to The Knife even after being a teammate (and good friend) for 3 seasons. Murphy (17 pts mid 3Q) now has 17 games in a row of scoring at least 16 pts – 9:31 PM

Trey Murphy entered Tuesday averaging 4.0 two-point baskets per game this season (compared to 1.9 last season), branching his offensive game out beyond primarily spot-up deep shooting. Murphy shot 7/7 from INSIDE the arc at Chicago pic.x.com/toZn0nbCWj – 11:23 PM

Big performances from forwards Zion Williamson (21 pts, 7 reb, 9 ast) and Trey Murphy (32 pts, 19 in second half) pace #Pelicans to 119-113 win at Chicago. New Orleans goes 2-1 on East road trip, with only loss at Boston by a point. Postgame wrap: neworlns.co/4fWhRBV pic.x.com/WK9PWKC626 – 10:38 PM

Watching Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy has been a lot of fun tonight. Zion gets his 8th assist on a feed to Alvarado for 3, while Murphy is up to 26 pts. No matter how he’s shooting, keep firing – 9:57 PM

New Orleans Pelicans: Dejounte Murray has been upgraded to AVAILABLE for tonight’s game in Chicago -via Twitter @PelicansNBA / January 14, 2025
“I mean, I’mma keep it real with him,” Murray said. “He’s sitting next to me on the plane, we’ve got a great relationship, and I talk to him about a lot more than sports. This is our job, we’re going to come here as (mentors), but a lot of us don’t understand what all of us go through outside of this. So I just make sure he knows I’m here to listen. I support him, I want the best for him, but accountability is everything. So not to sugarcoat anything. It’s the past, it’s over. Hopefully, he grew from it and it doesn’t happen again.” -via New York Times / January 13, 2025
