Pelicans displaying progress entering rematch vs. Jazz

The New Orleans Pelicans remain near the bottom of the Western Conference standings, but they're making progress.

The team has won two consecutive games since starting point guard Dejounte Murray made his season debut after rehabilitating from Achilles surgery.

Murray had 17 points, nine assists and four steals in a 129-118 victory at the Utah Jazz on Thursday and the two teams will meet again Saturday in Salt Lake City. However, Murray will sit out the rematch.
