Michael Porter Jr. and Egor Demin each had 22 points as the visiting Brooklyn Nets cruised past the defenseless New Orleans Pelicans 145-111.<\/p>\n

It was the fifth time in franchise history the Nets (counting their time in New Jersey) scored 145 points in a game that didn\u2019t go to overtime.<\/p>\n

Shooting 66.7% from the floor in the first half, the Nets scored 83 points by the break, the third most in a half since the club arrived in Brooklyn.<\/p>\n

Julius Randle put up 17 points as the Nets snapped a two-game losing streak, and Moritz Wagner and Noah Clowney each had 16 points off the bench. Every player who saw minutes for Brooklyn except for Josh Minott scored.<\/p>\n

New Orleans lost its fourth game in a row, and it allowed at least 138 points in each of the past three. The Pelicans were coming off a franchise-record-worst regular-season loss, a 51-point setback against the Golden State Warriors on Monday.<\/p>\n

Zion Williamson had 29 points in 30 minutes for New Orleans on Wednesday. Saddiq Bey scored 15, and Jeremiah Fears and Jordan Poole added 14 apiece.<\/p>\n

The Pelicans led 5-3 after the first 90 seconds, but the rest of the half and game were dominated by the Nets.<\/p>\n

Wagner drilled a 3-pointer early in the second quarter to make it 42-28 and then gestured toward current Pelicans coach Jamahl Mosley, Wagner\u2019s former coach in Orlando. During the ensuing timeout, Mosley earned a technical foul for chirping back at Wagner.<\/p>\n

Three Brooklyn players were in double figures at halftime. The Nets shot 8 of 16 from 3-point range in the half, 20 of 41 (48.8%) on the night. They made 57% from the floor for the game.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn ended any doubt by opening the third quarter with an 8-0 run that included treys by Demin and Day\u2019ron Sharpe to make the score 91-66.<\/p>\n

The Nets played without first-round pick Mikel Brown Jr., who was sidelined due to an illness. Trey Murphy III sat out for New Orleans because of knee soreness.<\/p>\n
