Derik Queen’s sensational triple-double energizes the New Orleans Pelicans, sparking hope for a brighter future despite a hard-fought 135-132 loss to the San Antonio Spurs. Queen delivered 33 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists, while Trey Murphy and Herb Jones provided vital offense and defensive tenacity for a starting lineup that finished strong even as bench struggles persisted. With Zion Williamson, Jordan Poole, and Dejounte Murray sidelined, the discussion centers on the team’s improving offensive flow under James Borrego, the urgent need for defensive progress in upcoming practices, and how returning stars could propel New Orleans into the Play-In Tournament. Can the Pelicans capitalize on Queen’s emergence and turn potential into victories as the season heats up?
