Pelicans brought fight but needed greater execution in 108-102 loss to Nets

A few different bounces of the ball and they are probably sporting an 18-4 home record.

The short-handed New Orleans Pelicans gave the Brooklyn Nets everything they could handle, before ultimately succumbing by a final score of 108-102.

With 3:13 left in regulation, the Pelicans trailed 98-97 after Trey Murphy had converted an and-one. They had a chance to retake the lead after Kyrie Irving missed a 3-pointer, but emblematic of their inability to consistently make shots from close to the rim all night, the Pelicans missed twice and coughed up a turnover on the following possession.
