Team Stats (Pelicans at Nets) Final Score: 101-119 Rebounds: 36-45 Assists: 29-36 Blocks: 3-7 Steals: 9-6 Turnovers: 15-16 Stat Leaders Scoring Leaders: Trey Murphy III, 23; Michael Porter Jr., 35 Rebound Leaders: Derik Queen, 9; Nic Claxton Assist Leaders: Jose Alvarado, 6; Nic Claxton My Player of the Game: Jose Alvarado Chrissy's Key Takeaways * This was the worst game the Pelicans have played all season. The team started out flat and never picked up the pace or the defense. Offense struggled, too . * No one looked ready to play -- it was like a different team was playing than we saw in the last two games against the Minnesota Timberwolves. * The Nets led by 11 at the end of the first quarter and led by as much as 28. * The Pelicans next game is on Monday at home at 7 pm against the Spurs.
