You would have thought from the trappings and pregame festivities that the Nets understood that Wednesday night’s contest against rapidly ascending New Orleans was one that counted and not exhibition No. 5. But that’s not how it played out, as the Pelicans silenced the Barclays Center sellout crowd by jumping out to a 20-4 lead and cruised to a 130-108 victory on opening night for both clubs. Oh, the Nets cut into the deficit to make it an 8-point game at halftime, but then Head Coach Steve Nash brought out the same five-man unit that got mashed in the first quarter to start the second half. Take a wild guess what happened.
