The Brooklyn Nets faced a challenging matchup against the injury-riddled New Orleans Pelicans, who were without key players like Zion Williamson and CJ McCollum. Despite the odds, the Pelicans pushed the Nets to the limit, but Brooklyn secured a narrow 107-105 victory.

Cam Thomas's clutch 26-footer gave the Nets the lead late in the game, while Ben Simmons showcased his playmaking skills with a season-high 12 assists. The win snapped a two-game losing streak for Brooklyn and improved their record to 5-6.
