NEW ORLEANS — Pelicans coach Willie Green sounds gratified by the way his surging New Orleans squad seems to be building chemistry and momentum. Brooklyn coach Jacque Vaughn wants the Nets to summon the kind of hustle that shows they actually care about winning.
CJ McCollum scored 16 points, Herb Jones added 14 points, and the New Orleans Pelicans routed the Brooklyn Nets 112-85 on Tuesday night for their third straight victory and eighth in 11 games.
"I'm definitely seeing us coming out and having more of a sense of urgency across the board," Green said.
