Warren scored 15 points for Brooklyn and Royce O’Neale added 14, including a 3-pointer with 2:27 left. CJ McCollum scored 28 points and Naji Marshall had a career-high 23 points for the Pelicans in their second game since losing Zion Williamson for what is expected to be about three weeks with a right hamstring strain.
