New Jersey Nets Finally Find Way To Win, 97-87
The New Jersey Nets were able to hold the lead all game and bounce back from a tough 10-point loss against Oklahoma City Saturday night. The Nets defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 97-87 to capture their fifth win of the season. The Nets are now 5-12 on the year.
Good
The Nets were able to maintain a lead the entire game. Something we have rarely seen in the past few years. The rookie MarShon Brooks padded his chances for NBA Rookie of the Year as he led the Nets with 20 points. Fellow teammate Deron Williams was able to score 19 points, dish out 10 assists and grab nine rebounds accounting for another ‘almost triple-double.’ It looked like Williams was having fun playing again and that’s what the Nets needed.
The guard play was what also won the Nets the game. Anthony Morrow and Jordan Farmar provided tremendous support off the bench. Morrow had 19 points and Farmar had 13 points and four assists.
Bad
The bad part about the Nets’ win was the poor shooting display they put on at the Prudential Center. They shot 44 percent from the field and 25 percent from three-point range even though Anthony Morrow was three of four from long-distance. Avery Johnson has to red light some of the ‘long range shooters’ that the Nets think they have.
New Jersey also turned the ball over 12 times but that is rather low compared to some games. Other than those things I saw, the Nets played well and this was a much needed victory.
What’s Next?
The Nets will be traveling on the road Monday as the take on Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls at the United Center. Charlotte will play host to the New York Knicks at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte.
