After a dominating performance in every aspect against the Magic, the Nets were back in action Friday night against the 1-win Pelicans team.
The game seemed to be going just like the one on Wednesday, with the Nets taking as much as a 21-point lead in the third quarter.
However, the Pelicans had no intention of being embarrassed on their home court and made a furious comeback, even taking the lead at one point in the fourth. But down the stretch, the Nets leaned on their two stars who carried them across the finish line for a 120-112 victory.
