"Down 112-110, Brooklyn's fate came down to Michael Porter Jr., who had an opportunity to take the lead on a fading three-pointer on a play drawn up by head coach Jordi Fernandez following a timeout. Porter missed. Pelicans forward Trey Murphy III regained possession and later knocked down two free throws in what became a 116-113 win for the Pelicans. It was Brooklyn's fifth straight loss and eighth loss in 10 games."
"Murphy led the way with 34 points, nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block. Porter scored a team-high 20 points. The forward had a chance to send the game into overtime, but misfired on a potential buzzer-beating heave at the end of regulation. Egor Dëmin finished 17 points and five assists. The rookie knocked down five treys, notching his seventh consecutive game with multiple three-pointer made. The mark ties a franchise rookie record set by Kerry Kittles."
