The New Orleans Pelicans defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 104 - 95, at Barclays Center on Thursday. The Pelicans (16 - 24) learned earlier in the day that Anthony Davis would miss the contest with the hip injury that he suffered after a flagrant foul by the Knicks' Kyle O'Quinn on Monday. However, that did n't deter them from notching their sixth road victory of the season on the strength of standout efforts from Davis' replacement Terrence Jones and the surging Tyreke Evans off the bench. The two combined for more than half of the Pelicans' points on the night, and New Orleans also forced 16 turnovers from the Nets (8 - 30), which continue to give the ball away at the league's highest clip. Evans led all scorers with 29 points, which he supplemented with four rebounds, three assists, four steals and a block over 28 minutes. Jones posted a 24 - point, 12 - rebound double - double that also included an assist and a steal. Jrue Holiday tallied 21 points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals. Solomon Hill went for 14 points, 10 boards, three assists and a pair of steals. Not all was clicking on the New Orleans side, however, as Omer Asik received only five minutes and went scoreless, while Buddy Hield compiled just five points, five rebounds and an assist over 24 minutes, shooting just 2 - of - 9 from the field and 1 - of - 6 from three - point range. Brook Lopez paced the Nets with 20 points, six rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block, but also committed a game - high six turnovers. Joe Harris produced 15 points, two rebounds and two assists. Bojan Bogdanovic supplied 10 points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal, while Trevor Booker generated a modest eight points but complemented them with 12 boards, four assists, a steal and a block. Sean Kilpatrick led the second unit with 18 points, seven boards, an assist and a steal, and Caris LeVert was productive in a reserve role as well with 10 points. The Pelicans continue on the road and visit the Chicago Bulls on Saturday afternoon, while the Nets head north of the border to tangle with the Toronto Raptors on Friday night.
