Like all other Sunday contests, today was a “kids game” here at the Barclays Center. The Brooklyn Nets and their opponent both seemed to want in on the theme.
In contests featuring two squads already eliminated from postseason contention, there are only so many things to reach for beyond player development. With the Nets starting Trendon Watford, Ziaire Williams, Keon Johnson, Reece Beekman (first of his career), and Drew Timme (him too), and the Toronto Raptors rolling with Ochai Agbaji, R.J. Barrett, Jonathan Mogbo, Ja’Kobe Walter, and Jamal Shead, each team did so with both hands.
