The New Orleans Pelicans beat the Golden State Warriors 113-109. This was the Pelicans' 17th win this season, but more importantly, it was the return of Dejounte Murray. The All-Star guard hadn’t played since January 31 of last season after tearing his right Achilles.
So what better way to give my full thoughts on Murray’s return to the court for the first time in over a year than give a grade for his performance tonight?
Murray gets a B grade in his return
First, let’s start with the box score stats Murray put up: 13 points, two rebounds, three assists, and one steal, while shooting 5/11 from the field and 1/4 from three.
