The Brooklyn Nets squandered a fourth-quarter advantage and fell to the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, January 14, 2026, extending their losing streak to five games.
New Orleans, described as one of the league’s struggling teams, rallied in the final minutes to overtake Brooklyn and secure the win. The Nets had controlled much of the contest but could not close it out, suffering yet another setback in a skid that has lasted nearly two weeks.
The defeat marks Brooklyn’s fifth consecutive loss, heightening pressure as the club searches for answers with more than half the season still ahead.
