Big Q & DC cover the Pelicans/Clippers matchup recap.
(Summary) Trey Murphy III scored 32 points, Brandon Ingram had 32 points and 13 assists, and the New Orleans Pelicans never trailed in a 131-110 win over the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday night.
New Orleans tied a franchise record with 21 3-pointers and shot 61.8% from behind the arc. Murphy was a major reason for that success, making a career-high 10 3s in 12 attempts.
\\u201cI just see his confidence going up and up,\\u201d Ingram said. \\u201cHe\\u2019s the best shooter on the team\\u201d
C.J. McCollum had 21 points, eight rebounds and eight assists for the Pelicans, who have won four in a row.
\\u201cOur execution was off the charts,\\u201d New Orleans coach Willie Green said.
Bones Hyland scored 18 points and Kawhi Leonard added 12 points and six rebounds for the Clippers, who have lost three of four.
\\u201cI thought they really came out to attack us tonight, and they did that,\\u201d Clippers coach Tyronn Lue said. \\u201cOn the offensive end, 20 turnovers with 28 points (off turnovers) is too many, especially for a fast team like this.\\u201d
At risk of falling out of the play-in tournament with a loss, the energized Pelicans started out hot, scoring the first eight points, and never let up.
New Orleans made seven of its first eight 3-point shots and nine of 11 in the opening quarter to build an 11-point edge.
Murphy was nearly indefensible from deep, making his first five 3s to help the Pelicans open a 19-point lead, their largest of the half, early in the second quarter.
\\u201cTrey shot the cover off the ball,\\u201d Green said, unable to stifle a laugh. \\u201cAnd it was good to see him make shot after shot after shot. He\\u2019s capable, our team is capable, and that\\u2019s the standard in which we want to play.\\u201d
Ingram realized early on that Murphy was locked in, en route to becoming the second-youngest player in NBA history to make 10 3s at 22 years and 280 days old. Anthony Edwards did it as a 20-year old in his second season with Minnesota.
\\u201cI felt like he was going to shoot no matter who was in front of him, so I just wanted to keep feeding him the ball,\\u201d Ingram said of Murphy. \\u201cIt just makes our team tougher to stop when he\\u2019s a threat on the floor.\\u201d
The Clippers made pushes, including scoring 11 straight points to pull within 47-40, but the Pelicans connected from distance when needed to break their momentum.
\\u201cIt\\u2019s tough to dig yourself a hole and try to climb out every single night,\\u201d Lue said.
New Orleans ended up 14 for 22 from long distance (63.6%) in the first half.
\\u201cWe took care of the basketball, and we got some stops on the defensive end and we ran in transition,\\u201d Ingram said. \\u201cI think the pace was good for us.\\u201d
Although the Clippers were down by 14 points going into the fourth, Leonard did not play in the final quarter. Lue declined to say why Leonard did not return to the game.
