What’s the buzz on Twitter?

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
A week after C.J. McCollum hit 11 threes on the Sixers, Zach LaVine has now done the same. – 9:13 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Kyrie and Vaughn just walked arm in arm up to the scorer’s table after having a conversation just before the time out ended. Kyrie mentioned it the other night — but he seems to be responding to Vaughn’s leadership style early on in the new coach’s tenure. – 9:13 PM

8 quick points for KD to open the second half 🔥 pic.twitter.com/92ss3MamLi – 9:10 PM

Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Nic Claxton’s layup has the Pelicans’ lead down to two. It’s 69-67 with 8:59 left in the third. Kevin Durant is up to 26 points. I think he’s passing Dominique Wilkins on the scoring list tonight no problem. – 9:09 PM
Dan Favale @danfavale
this is low-key a great pass by nic claxton pic.twitter.com/3RTXZIQp3O – 9:09 PM

Charlotte Hornets PR @HornetsPR
The @Charlotte Hornets tallied 84 points in the first half tonight at Milwaukee, their second-most in any half in franchise history.
The franchise record is 87 set last season in the second half at Indiana (1/26/22) en route to a franchise-record 158 points.

End of 1st half: Pelicans 64, Nets 53
Marshall 15 pts, 5 rebs
Alvarado 15 pts
McCollum 13 pts
Durant 18 pts
Sensational half from the Naji/Jose/CJ trio. The pace has been the roof and they’re knocking shots down. Pels are 10-17 on 3s as a team, 16-17 at the free throw line – 8:50 PM

Nets missed some makable ones, but that was still a strong defensive half from the Pels. They’re up 9 at the break. – 8:49 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
The Nets looked discombobulated on both ends of the floor throughout parts of the first half. They never found any rhythm — and the Pelicans just played harder.
KD has 18 points — nobody else is in double figures. The undermanned Pelicans are beating them at both ends. – 8:49 PM

What a half by the Pelicans. This was the biggest test of their depth and my goodness they crushed it. – 8:48 PM
Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Halftime: Nets trail the Pelicans 64-53. Similar to Chicago, each time the Nets cut the lead down to two possesions, NOLA extended it. KD with 18 on 4-for-11 shooting. He can use some help. Pels shot 58 percent from 3. – 8:48 PM

Nets need a lot more from Joe Harris. He had a nice 10-game stretch prior to missing the 4 games with knee soreness.
Looks stuck in the mud athletically. – 8:35 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
In Oct. 19 opener between these teams, it seemed like a severe chemistry mismatch, as #Pelicans won by 22 and Ingram/Zion combined to score 53. Tonight neither recent All-Star is playing but Pels again look a step quicker – 8:34 PM

Jaxson Hayes was a DNP in the Oct. 19 opener at Brooklyn, a victim of #Pelicans extreme frontcourt depth, but he’s in rotation now and doing damage vs. Nets. A couple tip-ins where he’s overwhelmed with athleticism. Even went to him on a post-up on Kyrie – 8:23 PM

The leading scorers so far in Pelicans-Nets are…two undrafted guys. Naji Marshall and Jose Alvarado with 13 points apiece. – 8:22 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Just an abysmal start to the second quarter for the Nets. Pelicans off to a 13-1 run. Nets can’t stay attached to any shooters, specifically Jose Alvarado, who is open basically every possession. Pelicans have brought the fight. Nets will lose this game if they don’t punch back. – 8:22 PM

Kevin Durant starts 1/7 from the field — somehow still finishes with 11 points in the first quarter to bring the Nets back from down 10.
Pelicans lead, 28-27, after a 10-1 Nets run following a JV timeout. Naji Marshall has 10 for NOLA. Nic Claxton has been everywhere w/3 BLKs. – 8:13 PM

Pelicans leading Nets, 24-14, at the 3:14 mark of the first quarter. Both sides are playing intense but the Pelicans are hitting a few more shots. Herb Jones is playing great defense on Kevin Durant, who has 4PTS on 1/7 FG so far. – 8:05 PM
Jim Eichenhofer @Jim_Eichenhofer
Naji Marshall’s career high for three-pointers made in a game is four. He’s already 3/4 from deep in 1Q vs. Nets, after Jose Alvarado waits a beat, long enough for Naji to get to the corner for another open trey. NOP 24-14 – 8:04 PM

#Pelicans pounded Nets in the paint in the Oct. 19 meeting (61-39 in rebounds, 62-46 paint points) and seem intent on attacking the hoop again. Trey Murphy with a strong take gets an and-one vs. Ben Simmons. Pels also feed Jonas Valanciunas, who is a matchup problem – 7:58 PM
