Pelicans punish Doncic and Mavericks 113-106
Some heroics took place the last few minutes to secure the New Orleans Pelicans a much-needed 113-106 victory over the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday night in New Orleans.
Pelicans veteran guard CJ McCollum scored 16 of his 32 points in the final four minutes of the game, finishing a perfect 4-for-4 from beyond the arc.
With the win, New Orleans snaps a two-game losing streak, improving to 21-11 at home and 32-34 overall. The Pelicans now sit at 10th place in the Western Conference with a one-game lead over Oklahoma City for the final play-in spot.
“I thought CJ (McCollum) was huge down the stretch of the game. He made big shot after big shot and that is what it takes for us to have an opportunity to win games like this,” Pelicans head coach Wille Green said. Collectively, all of our guys just followed the game plan to a T.”
Early in the first quarter, Dallas went on a 9-2 run to take a 14-6 lead and force the Pelicans to use their first timeout of the game….

SUMMARY: Prosecutors in Jackson are seeking a protective order to prevent the release of sensitive information in a bribery case involving Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens, Jackson Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba, and City Councilman Aaron Banks. The motion aims to protect personal, financial, and grand jury information, fearing it could impair investigations and fair trial rights. The three officials face charges related to a bribery scheme involving $80,000 in bribes for approving a real estate development project. Other individuals, including former City Councilwoman Angelique Lee and Sherik Marve Smith, are also implicated, with Smith pleading guilty to conspiracy.
