A sour way to end 2023. The Brooklyn Nets put up a good fight against the excellent Oklahoma City Thunder, but that wasn’t enough as OKC pulled away in the second half on New Year’s Eve. The loss was the third in a row for the Nets and while they’re still in the play in standings, things are getting more difficult by the day.
The opponent tonight is looking to take a step forward. The New Orleans Pelicans are solidly in the playoff race, but are trying to be more than just a play in/playoff team.
