The Brooklyn Nets did what they had to do on Saturday night. This came in the form of them defeating the New Orleans Pelicans, even if it saw them losing Kevin Durant mid-way through the second quarter. Durant was having a solid game up until that point, but a collision with Bruce Brown left him no choice but to stay out for the rest of the game.
Fortunately, the Nets sat back to witness James Harden handle the scoring duties. His knack to facilitate was second to none as usual as his double-double led the way, serving as enough to put away New Orleans.
