Pelicans' Trey Murphy III hearing All-Star hype after Game 1 breakout
The New Orleans Pelicans are not looking for moral victories following a Game 1 road loss to open an NBA Playoffs series against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Zion Williamson may be out with an injury and Brandon Ingram is still seemingly shaking off some rust but there are some silver linings to consider. Trey Murphy III's breakout debut as a postseason starter stands out as the most important takeaway for a front office still trying to determine the best path to the NBA Finals. The underdog Pelicans are not demoralized following a Game 1 win.

Banchero's 32 points lifts Magic over Pelicans, Zion Williamson injures his finger
The physical, swarming play of Paolo Banchero and the Orlando Magic so frustrated New Orleans that three Pelicans players were ejected in the game's final seconds. “I've never seen that before,” Banchero said, referring to the back-to-back-to-back ejections of Herb Jones, Trey Murphy III and Dyson Daniels. Banchero scored 32 points — his 10th time reaching at least 30 points this season — and Orlando defeated New Orleans 117-108 on Wednesday night to lift the Magic half a game in front of the idle New York Knicks for fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
