The Brooklyn Nets secured their most significant win of the season, defeating the New Orleans Pelicans 145-111. Danny Wolf, starting as shooting guard, achieved his second double-double in three games, contributing 10 points, a career-high 11 rebounds, and 4 assists in 29 minutes. Wolf also added 2 blocks, including one on Zion Williamson, and a steal, finishing with a +17 plus-minus rating. The 22-year-old American-Jewish forward also made his first field goal from an offensive rebound and hit a three-pointer.
The Nets established a commanding 39-25 lead after the first quarter and scored an impressive 83 points in the first half, leading by 17 at halftime. Yegor Demin returned from injury to score 22 points, helping the Nets win the subsequent quarters as well. This victory improved Brooklyn's record to 8-3, while the Pelicans fell to 8-4.
Other notable performances for the Nets included Michael Porter Jr. with 22 points, Julius Randle, Noah Clowney, and Moe Wagner each with 16, and Day'Ron Sharpe with 10 points and 11 rebounds. For the Pelicans, Zion Williamson led with 29 points, but Dejounte Murray struggled with only 5 points. Saddiq Bey scored 15, Jordan Poole 14, and Jeremiah Pearsall 14.
Brooklyn, which shot 20-of-41 from three-point range, managed the game without guards Nolan Traore and Michael Brown Jr. Coach Jordi Fernández mentioned that Ben Sharf was not recalled from the G-League due to the team's backcourt shortage and the tight schedule. The Nets' next game is scheduled for Saturday night against Memphis.
Local Brooklyn media praised Wolf's performance, highlighting his versatility in connecting the Nets on both ends of the court and enabling a particularly long starting lineup. His early blocks against Zion Williamson and Jalen Jones were noted for boosting the team's defensive confidence, with Wolf reportedly gaining confidence game by game.
