Pelicans (18-16), Nets (12-22)
New Orleans has been led by a few excellent-passing point guards in its 16-year franchise history, including multi-time All-Star Chris Paul, but no floor general ever handed out more assists in a game than Rajon Rondo on Wednesday vs. Brooklyn. Amid an outstanding offensive performance by his team, Rondo broke the franchise record by dishing out 25 assists, which is also his career high.
For the third time this season, New Orleans won a third consecutive game, but the current mini-streak is a bit different from the others. Behind a rout over Brooklyn, the Pelicans won a third straight game by double figures, the first time they’ve done so in 2017-18.
