Trey Murphy III talks Herb Jones, Win | Pelicans-Clippers Postgame 2/7/24

Trey their bench is uh one of the best in the business and and you guys certainly handled your own business tonight what was that match up like for y’all and what got you going um I would just say that stars set the tone herb Jones set the tone defensively

Like he always does and you know he makes it tough on their opposing guys so um I think it’s really a credit to him you know we come in our second unit we’re supposed to push a Pace know defend at a high level and really just

Change the pace of the game so I think when herb sets a tone like that it makes it a lot easier for us bi and Z had more assists than the rest of the team combined when they’re doing that how does it open things up for yall and how

Important is it for everyone else to be ready for that it was important because you know we watched the last game that we played against them and the ball was a little stagnant at times especially when you play a team that switches one through five with five good Defenders

Out there you know it you don’t really find like an advantage so that’s when it gets to one-on-one ISO ball and tonight we didn’t do that we we just kept moving the ball we kept getting into slips and different actions in order to you know throw off their

Throw off their switching Urban Dyson even by their own standard seemed really disruptive tonight just what do you think about them as kind of a a defensive Duo ah they’re great I mean that’s that’s just what they do on a nightly basis they defend at a high

Level and um you know I’m definitely not surprised by it but um you know Dyson had four steals that’s tough and two blocks six stocks right there was pretty impressive I can’t lie yeah I mean that Clippers team has as much offense as any team in the league how locked in how

Focused were you guys as a team just overall in the defensive end tonight everybody was really locked in and once again herb Jones started it he um he’s an all NBA Defender and um you know he he sets the tone like I said earlier he

Sets a tone for us and you know we just try to follow along how good was it for you just to knock a couple shots down in that first quarter after you came in it was cool it was cool definitely um I think it might been the first time I hit

Consecutive threes in a row in a very long time so um you know I think all it is is really just Contin to chop with carry water just continue to stay within my routine not get too high not get too low and understand like it’s going to

Get back to where it’s supposed to be um I know I can shoot the ball with the best of them so I’ll get there eventually I just got to keep shooting and what’s it like just kind of seeing Zion kind of uh read the defense and

Kind of figure out when he needs to make the pass when he needs to be aggressive kind of seeing you know him kind of process that information throughout the course of the game no it’s great I mean you’re seeing him take that Superstar leap you know a lot of guys come into

The league that are that have that power and that you know offensive prowess that they don’t really have to pass too often they they just you know get to their buckets and stuff like that they make that offensive leap when they start getting their teammates involved because

Then guys have to be a lot closer to their man so now you have a lot more space to attack and so I think he’s really figuring that out he’s starting to direct the offense there’s been a lot of times where he’s told me just go high

Slot like he’ll be in the middle of play like point me to the high slot because he knows they’re not going to help as much and if they do he’ll be a three so you can just see his maturation process as the season progresses hey was it

Important for y’all to have a game like this against a real Championship Contender when y’all kind of struggled in the last couple times y’all saw a team at that level to perform the way y’all did tonight no absolutely um playing number one team in the west you

Got to get up for those games and you know with our past history um haven’t been too good with you know those teams that are above us at the time so getting one of those wins definitely helped a lot appreciate yall y the vocabulary in there today was
