There were a lot of positive takeaways for the New Orleans Pelicans from the second half of last night’s 104-95 win over the Nets:
- The defense held Brooklyn to only 38 points, and took the Nets out of rhythm by forcing a plethora of turnovers in the half court.
- The Donatas Motiejunas-Terrence Jones frontcourt pairing that gave the Pelicans life at the end of the second quarter started the third quarter and won the battle down low that was lost in the first half.
- Jones was in vintage form, notching a double-double and leading the offense down the stretch.
