"Brooklyn blew a 12-point lead - and an eight-point fourth-quarter cushion - to fall 116-113 before a crowd of 16,201 at Smoothie King Center. After playing well last month, the Nets (11-27) have struggled since the calendar flipped. Brooklyn has the longest losing skid in the league at five straight, and has now dropped eight of their past nine. The Nets (11-27) sit fifth in the lottery standings."
"Brooklyn led 110-107 after rookie Egor Dëmin's long 3-pointer with 1:28 left. But they allowed seven unanswered points and never led again. The Nets trailed by three in the final seconds and botched the last-ditch play. Michael Porter Jr. - who led the Nets with 20 points - missed a 34-footer. Trey Murphy III had a game-high 34 points and Zion Williamson added 25. The Pelicans have signaled they plan to hold onto both."
