NEW ORLEANS — After heartbreakers in Boston and Cleveland, the Nets were staring at a gut check Monday night.
It turned out their guts were just fine.
The Nets flipped the script from their late blown leads, earning a 107-105, come-from-behind win over the Pelicans before a sellout crowd of 16,895 at Smoothie King Center.
“It was good just to finally win a fourth quarter,” said Cam Thomas, who scored 10 of his team-high 17 points in the fourth quarter. “We gave up a lead in the third; they go on their run, then went on another run early in the fourth, so we got down. But credit to the guys for staying composed, sticking together, and making big-time sH๏τs when they needed it.”

Down 105-101 with 1:16 left, the Nets closed with the final six points. They got a layup from Cam Johnson (15 points), a go-ahead 3-pointer from Thomas with 32.9 seconds to go in regulation — with coach Jordi Fernandez trying to call a timeout — and a couple of defensive stands to make sure there was no overtime.
It made the trip back from Bourbon Street sweeter.
“It would’ve been a rough flight if we didn’t get this one,” said Ben Simmons, who had 12 ᴀssists off the bench. “It was important to finish this road trip the right way.”
