The New Orleans Pelicans secured their first winning season since 2017-18 Friday night, defeating the New York Knicks 113-105.

Trey Murphy led New Orleans with 31 points while CJ McCollum added 23. Although the game was tied through three, the Pelicans outscored the Knicks 30-22 in the final period of play.

“It’s a tremendous blessing to have a winning record as it’s hard to win in the NBA,” Pelicans head coach Willie Green said. “We’re watching Trey grow up right in front of us.”

Despite shooting only 35% from beyond the arc and 12 turnovers, New Orleans (42-39) was able to pull out the win, finishing the 2022-23 season with a 27-14 home record – the team’s best since 2014-15.

The Knicks (47-34), who have already clinched the Eastern Conference’s No. 5 seed, were without leading scorers Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson. RJ Barrett led the team with 28 points while Immanuel Quickley added 24.

Possibly the biggest news for the Pelicans on Friday was not the win itself but …

SUMMARY: President-elect Donald Trump announced that he will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the deadline for TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to find an approved U.S. buyer. This decision follows the removal of TikTok from app stores due to a federal law requiring ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations or face a ban, citing national security concerns. Trump’s order would delay the law’s restrictions, offering ByteDance more time to negotiate a sale. Despite challenges, including TikTok’s legal disputes, Trump emphasized the app’s potential value and the importance of keeping it operational in the U.S.

SUMMARY: Joe Biden’s presidency aimed to “restore the soul” of America post-Trump, but despite bipartisan legislative successes and international alliances, he struggled to change the political landscape. Four years after defeating Trump, Biden faced electoral defeat as Trump made a political comeback. Polls show only a quarter view Biden favorably, even lower than Trump during his presidency. Although Biden touted achievements in infrastructure and economic recovery, rising costs and inflation eroded public support. As he prepares to leave office, questions persist about his legacy and the permanence of the political shift towards populism, leaving Biden’s ambitions unfulfilled.
