Hit it @adaniels33 🎂

Trey Murphy just became the second Pels player all-time to have two seasons with at least 200 3-pointers. He had 202 in the 2022-23 season. CJ McCollum had a franchise-record 239 in 2023-24 and 211 in 2022-23.

Zion Williamson finishes with 27 points on 11/13 shooting. It's his 17th career game with at least 25 points on 80% shooting or better. Only Nikola Jokic (24) has as many such games since Zion debuted in the 2019-20 season.

I asked @Yves_missi this morning what was better - a dunk or a block? His answer - a block that leads to a transition dunk. He certainly got one of those tonight…

On the official box score, Herb Jones is listed as the starting center tonight. Two games ago in the second game against Utah - and many other times this season - he was listed as the team's starting point guard.

Dejounte Murray is listed as available on the latest injury report. He makes his return against Golden State tomorrow night at the SKC.

Bryce told us last night that we were going to start seeing a lot more dunks after the big one he had at the end of the Bucks game. This certainly qualifies as exactly what he was talking about.

On one of the first possessions of the game, Herb tried to throw the lob to DJ and they couldn’t connect. DJ looked at Herb and nodded. The two haven’t shared the court much but DJ knew what to do the next time they had the chance.

Pelicans had 56 paint points in the first half (28/36 FG). That's tied for the most by any team in any half since 1996-97 (Kings had 56 in the 1H on 1/9/24).

Congrats, Bryce! 🫡 The Pelicans have converted the two-way contract of Bryce McGowens to a standard NBA contract.

"Just trusting in God man. I am just grateful to be out here. I was thinking about it this morning how grateful I am to be playing these games... Every possession, every game, I am trying to make the most of it and make God proud" -- Saddiq Bey on his 19 point 4th quarter
