Nets salvage win on three-game road trip with last second win over Pelicans

 

The Brooklyn Nets just keep on surprising and they did so again on Monday night. 

The Nets outlasted the Pelicans in a down to the wire affair to improve their record to 5-6 on the season. 

Nets fans are frustrated that the wins keep piling up and the NBA draft lottery odds keep going down. 

At the end of the day, building a winning culture should supersede any type of tanking scenario just for a ping pong ball's lucky chance to take the top overall pick.

It's early on in the NBA season, but this Nets team looks to be more playoff ready than draft lottery ready.
