Grading Dejounte Murray's New Orleans Pelicans return

Mandatory Credit: Stephen Lew-Imagn Images | Stephen Lew-Imagn ImagesThe 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?
