Nets survive sloppiness, overtime to defeat Pelicans 108-101

It wasn’t their best game, but the Brooklyn Nets still found a way to leave New Orleans with a win.

Brooklyn’s 108-101 overtime win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday would not fall under the category of a well-played game.

The Nets shot sub-30% from 3-point territory (28.2%) and they barely shot over 40% from the floor overall (41.7%). Good thing for Brooklyn the Pelicans were even worse (34.3% and 27.5%). Neither side did well at the free-throw line either (73.9% for Brooklyn and 66.7% for New Orleans).

Oddly enough, though, the turnovers weren’t high on either side (11 for Brooklyn, eight for New Orleans).

Naturally, Spencer Dinwiddie was the one to lead the Nets through their struggles. He wasn’t good from deep (1-for-8), but he came up big late, going 6-for-12 from the floor between the fourth quarter and overtime.

Dinwiddie finished with 31 points on 11-for-26 shooting. He also had seven assists.

Jarrett Allen scored 12 points after failing to reach double figures in the last two games. He also grabbed 14 boards and blocked a whopping six shots.

Joe Harris and David Nwaba were most consistent with their shots for the Nets. Harris went 8-for-15 from the floor (5-for-9 from three) in his 24-point game. Nwaba scored 12 on 5-for-7 shooting (2-for-3 from three).

Taurean Prince finished with 11 rebounds, but he went 1-for-9 from the floor (1-for-6 from three). Garrett Temple struggled with his shooting, too. He made 2 of his 14 attempts (1-for-6 from three).
