Pelicans interim coach James Borrego got his first win as the team's 9-game losing streak ended, led by its most efficient offensive night of the season>> www.fox8live.com/2025/11/25/p...

🚨 THE PELICANS WON A GAME AGAINST A TEAM WITH A WINNING RECORD 🚨

When Jordan Poole returns, I think I’d like to see the Pels go all in on an offensive starting 5:

Fears
Poole
Murphy
Zion
Queen

Move Herb to the bench. Get change of pace defensive guys to be first ones up. D guys that can give you a little O too and be interchangeable.

Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa race massacre, has died. She was 111.

"I have lived through the massacre every day. Our country may forget this history, but I cannot," she told Congress in 2021.

Geoff Bennett has more.

It’s like a low key star studded crowd nightmare SKC too lol

Did the Pels actually win a third quarter?

A haunted house but it’s just Wicked press junket interviews playing in an infinite loop

Big 3rd quarter collapse too… fire Borrego? I’m just relying on dark humor now.

Hard to win a basketball game if you literally make 0 3s in a half

Rough.
It would be nice if Trey Murphy III could still make 3-pointers.

Surround Derik Queen with cutters and shooters. Everybody else gotta go.

30 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 assists tonight for Derik Queen in the face of Nikola Jokic AND Jonas Valanciunas and Willie Green previously said he needed to “find minutes for him at the 5”.
November 20, 2025 at 3:32 AM
We’re seeing in real time why Derik Queen should have been starting all along. He’s improving with the more touches he gets.

I’ve seen a lot of shooters miss good looks from 3 delivered by Zion tonight, but you know who absolutely drilled one?

Derik Queen.
November 20, 2025 at 3:15 AM
Yep
Trey as the focal point is not it. If Zion isn't out there, run it through Queen.
