Trey Murphy III delivered an outstanding performance with 32 points, while Zion Williamson contributed 21 points, leading the New Orleans Pelicans to a 119-113 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night. This win marks a significant boost for the Pelicans, who have struggled this season, now improving their record to 9-32.
Despite a rough start shooting only 36.5% in the first half, New Orleans found its rhythm after the break, particularly in the second half. Williamson, after returning from injury and suspension, was instrumental, leading the team in rebounds and assists.
On the opposing side, Zach LaVine fought through an off night, finishing with 25 points after a sluggish first half. Nikola Vucevic and Coby White also contributed with 22 points each, but it was not enough to secure a win.
