In a season that seems to have grit, high-effort, or “going the extra mile” as its theme so far, it was only right for the Brooklyn Nets to cap off their first road trip of the year with a comeback victory tonight in New Orleans.
While the Pelicans entered this one rather bruised up, suffering injuries to CJ McCollum, Zion Williamson, and legendary hypothetical Net Dejounte Murray, they still presented the Nets with a daunting task to begin the work week. Brooklyn lost three of their last four vs New Orleans before tonight — all of which came in blowout fashion.
