“My teammates and coaches trusted me and I made it happen,” Williamson said.
Karlo Matkovic also scored 25 points, a career-high. His previous high was 19 points during his rookie season. Matkovic was 5-for-8 on 3-pointers. Trey Murphy scored 18 points.
Derik Queen and Saddiq Bey came off the bench to score 20 and 18 points, respectively. Queen scored 18 of his in the first half. Fears finished with 12 points and 7 assists.
The Pelicans haven’t lost since going to the starting lineup of Fears, Murphy, Williamson, Matkovic and Herb Jones. Dejounte Murray, who started the first four games of the season, missed his third consecutive game due to personal reasons. Murray missed Thursday’s game against the Sacramento Kings because of the birth of his son. He attended Saturday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks, but the team decided to give him another day of rest. He flew with the team to Memphis, but had to fly home for personal reasons.
