The Dallas Mavericks narrowly emerged victorious on Wednesday, earning a 137-136 win against the New Orleans Pelicans. Kyrie Irving and PJ Washington led the way for Dallas, while Zion Williamson and Trey Murphy III helped the Pelicans keep the game competitive.

Willie Green believes this is the best time to see just how much Trey Murphy III's improved ballhandling can help the Pelicans offense.

McCollum entered the record books, hitting a 3-pointer at the final buzzer to break the franchise record for 3-pointers made. It was the 629th 3-pointer since McCollum arrived in New Orleans three years ago. He passed Jrue Holiday, who made 628 in his seven seasons in New Orleans.

Less than 10 seconds later, McCollum remixed the play and threw another lob to Murphy to give the Pelicans a six-point lead going into the half.

Zion Williamson made his 11th appearance of the season on Saturday after missing time due to injuries, suspensions, and illnesses.

Pelicans rookie Yves Missi said that he is honored to be selected to the Rising Stars Game at NBA All-Star Weekend on Feb. 14 in San Francisco.
