NEW ORLEANS (AP) \u2014 When Pelicans rookie Derik Queen missed a late shot for the lead against the San Antonio Spurs, New Orleans guard Jose Alvarado hustled over to him and pushed his palm up under his chin in an expression of encouragement.<\/p>\n
The Pelicans felt Queen had nothing to be ashamed of after recording his first NBA triple double \u2014 33 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists \u2014 in just his 25th game.<\/p>\n
