Murphy’s 34 Points and Bey’s Clutch Play Push the Pelicans Past the Nets, 116-113
Saddiq Bey’s clutch plays and 33 second-chance points fueled by Yves Missi’s rebounds helped the Pelicans secure their second win in 13 games, overcoming a late Nets rally.
- In New Orleans on Jan 14, 2026, Trey Murphy III scored 34 points, and Saddiq Bey's late 3, dunk, and free throws led the Pelicans to a 116-113 win.
- After Brooklyn built a late lead, Egor Demin hit five 3s, the last giving Brooklyn a 110-107 lead with 1:28 remaining, but New Orleans mounted a 15-4 run with Murphy scoring nine and assisting Karlo Matkovic's dunk.
- Bench and second-chance scoring helped sustain the rally as Zion Williamson scored 25 points and Yves Missi added 12 points and 12 rebounds for New Orleans Pelicans.
- New Orleans earned only its second win in 13 games, Brooklyn lost for the eighth time in nine games, and both teams have Friday matchups against the Chicago Bulls and Indiana Pacers.
- The contest was deadlocked at 87 through three quarters, with the Pelicans entering with an NBA-worst opponent fourth-quarter shooting percentage of 50.5; Michael Porter Jr. scored 20 and his desperation heave missed.
