NBA Mini: Dallas Mavericks vs. New Orleans Pelicans | Extended Highlights
So, good play to start the game. Don’t want to give up a layup on that first possession, though. Jones trying to get his shot and a better rhythm. He hasn’t been shooting his own lately. Here’s Cooper Flag. Back on the floor. Three minutes gone by. Both of these teams played on Wednesday from Mosqu. It’s good for Trey Murphy. That just opens up a wideopen look. And I mean, this guy shoots it from the on the move. Here’s Flag. Another near steel. It was deflected. Late shot clock turnound. Short Jay is good for Cooper has gone three of three on threes. The only hiccup was those two missed free throws that he had. He turns down a three and he slices through the defense and a fancy finish to give the rookie from Oklahoma 11 points in the first seven minutes of the game. New Orleans made seven of their first eight shots and they’re still cooking. He’s taking what the defense is giving him. Nice rise up for Coop. Now here’s a catch inside. Murphy with a foul. Jose Alvarado pass in the paint. Eve Messi with a difficult finish in first quarter point differential. They’ve been outscored by an average of 5.6 points per first quarter this year, but they were up by nine, now up by eight. They swap a three by Clay. Giving Zion and Ally and that’s not a battle you’re going to win. Ball to Cather. Couple of quick fouls on the Pelicans this fourth. Long two for play. And that one’s good. Mavericks are shooting 50% from the floor. 37% from the arc. McQueen, he’s looked to pass until now. Drives and finishes for just his second basket of the game. I said he’s not not the fastest, not the most athletic, but now giving up a contestant too. You got to live with that result. Hello here by Coupe. Hello. Big finish for Cooper flag. Cooper flag going around Herb Jones. Not an easy thing to do. And was when Micah Peavey was there 22 23 and 24 baseline jumper Jaden Hardy. Good. I’m a bright side kind of guy. Yeah, this team is Mr. Bright Side. Mr. Bright Side. This team is used to playing from behind. So I expect a lot of energy to come out in the second half and show a little bit of fight. See the points leaders for New Orleans. Ray Murphy, Jeremiah Beers, top two in double figures. There’s some defense in Christy. Cooper Flag is one of 33 players to appear in the NBA before turning 19 years old. So, not a lot of players have had an opportunity to even have That was a nice move by Derek Queen for Cooper Flag. Just look at this move here. Just taking his time. Slow to slower. Spin move picks up the dribble outside to Washington. A ball fake and a drive and a scoop to the hoop. Off target put back jam for Wley. Energy to the building. Murphy on the reverse attempts. Just a huge supporter of everything that the Mavericks did and everything Eric has done in his great assistant coaching career. And we send our condolences to the Hughes and to the Chiceti families on the Turnovers have really been the death of this team. So hard to and it is a turnover committed by the Pelicans. Now here’s Coupe on the drive and the spin and the score. Excellent move starts on the defensive end the floor. The deflection nice move here by Williams is no good. The tip out rebound by Lively caught on the move by Jose Alvarado but it’s two players with a chase down block. PJ and Coupe and the ball’s blocked out off Herb Jones. Effort here and I mean he had no shot intended for Christy. He caught it, shot it, but missed it. Good traffic. Derek Queen tosses it in. reach in PJ in him getting the ball but just kind of throws it up and here’s Cooper flag in the paint and a determined drive and finish. teammates seen this before. Got him slightly out of position with that head fake and Daniel Gaffford who didn’t start the third quarter lively did but Gapper’s in now and Gaffford claims the car and now Coup Massive finish just making him and we’ll give Max Christie another chance and he comes up way short. Oh, Murphy running the floor and he has a two-hand rim rocker. As we noted earlier, he was averaging about 26 over the last seven games going into play tonight. On the bounce, it’s Marshall and it’s Gabard who caught it and finished. Eve me in sets a back screen trying to go somewhere with it. Found Micah Peavey. driving baseline. Turned away with a big swat by Gaffford. Tie game at 80. Gaffford going to bulldoze it way to the basket against Eve Mi. Second basket of the game for Jos Alvarado. Marshall initiating looking for Catherine and getting hit with the alley. Right down the lane and the foul called on Dallas. Here’s the alley. He took one three in that game and he went 14 of 14 on twos. Here’s an offensive and PJ Washington just posterized a Macy on the last two trips down the floor. A waterburger. What a play of the game. A low clock situation for Alvarado. He’s going to drive and a tough alley pass is made and then the finish by Micah Peavey. Alvarado. Wow. Brandon Williams with two defensive plays in that sequence. Coup nice pass. And that’s Christie with a foul. No foul on it. Be will with the deflection. Coupe with the pass ahead. Leading all scores in the game. PJ’s got 24. Murphy will have 24 if he makes this basket, which he miraculously did. Take a page out of Almaro’s book in that one. Yeah, he did. That wasn’t Grand Theft Alvarado, but it was nice. Oh, and so was that by Queen. Marshall ties up the game with a second free throw out of the timeout. There’s a play made by PJ Washington who shakes his head. No, no, at the rookie Derek Queen. You talk about Queen and Coupe with the spin move, but PJ here’s with it now. Derek Queen screams and it’s Derek Queen with the drive and turned away by Wively and the ball’s out of bounds off the mound with 4.5 to shoot. Murphy with Christy all over him and a little double clutch is off the rim and off the glass. Oh, and Dallas is running, releasing, challenging the shot and scoring. Max Christie. Great pass there and a finish. Max’s season highest 21 that he has tonight. Here’s Jones, a goend. And Max. Now it’s Coupe with it. Coupe on the bounce going at Queen. Oh, he scores it. The foul is called two. The Queen had a big basket earlier in the fourth quarter. Let him know Coupe gets the He has 21 tonight, but it’s Coupe. Three-point play that puts Dallas in front for Cooper flag. And good defense here from Lively. Stood up. Zion who lost the ball. Got it back and scores with a foul. Here we go. For him to be so 20 plus point scores and the Pelicans surge in front. Five straight by Zion. 115 111 who with a tough shot. Oh, great footwork and then pillow soft touch on the shot. Love the patience here. Using the footwork, using the pivot, continue to create an angle recognizing he has a smaller player. Just rises up, uses that. Cooper ready for a quick attack. He dribbles across the floor, finds Marshall, lets a rip off a three. Dallas takes the lead. And Nazi just hanging out at the three as a trailer. He gets Jeremiah Fear some momentum, but he slows things up to go to Zion Williamson. Big double. He’ll kick it out. They’re pretty short and Dallas has it. Mavericks have two. Max Christie since arriving upon the scene last February. 118 115 Dallas and this is a page out of what Indiana was doing a lot last year. Trey Murphy for three. It’s no good. And there’s a free rebound underneath. Beers has it. Flips it to Queen to tie. That’s no good. Dallas trying to claim the rebound. The ball is free, but now PJ’s got it. It’s all over. It’s on.
