New Jersey Nets Outlast Cleveland Cavaliers In Overtime
The New Jersey Nets scored a season-high in total points putting up 122 in the 122-117 win against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Easter Sunday. The Nets’ win marks their sixth in their last nine and five of their last seven when they score over 100 points.
Good
The three main players for the Nets stepped up again Sunday night. Gerald Green played a huge factor in this game as he seems to play every night. Green was five for seven from three point range tallying 32 points including 11 of 18 from the field. Point guard Deron Williams posted a double-double tallying 18 points and 10 rebounds. Kris Humphries also put up 16 points and 11 rebounds in the win.
Bad
The Nets defense did not play that great allowing the Cavaliers to post 117 points. Antwan Jamison, who has been average throughout the season, had a field day against the Nets. Jamison scored 34 points on 12 of 19 shooting. He also had three assists. The Cavs shot about 45 percent from the field as well in the game. Alonso Gee was able to put up a double-double scoring 22 points and tallying 11 rebounds. The Nets also committed 13 turnovers in the game which was rather good since they did play an overtime period.
What’s Next?
The Nets will continue their homestand Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Cavaliers return to Cleveland Tuesday to host the Charlotte Bobcats.
