The Nets outlasted the short-handed Pelicans on Friday night.
"There's going to come a time when shots don't fall — like tonight," said Durant, who shot 9 of 26, but also made all 11 of his free throws."I liked how we kept grinding regardless.
Jose Alvarado added 17 points, and Jonas Valanciunas had 12 points and 10 rebounds for New Orleans, which hasn't had high-scoring forward Brandon Ingram in the lineup for 20 games. New Orleans made just two of 12 3s in the second half after making 10 of 17 in the first. Meanwhile, Nets center Nic Claxton protected the paint with five blocks.
