Caris LeVert of the Brooklyn Nets had a terrific performance on opening night against the Detroit Pistons, but there was one sequence he wanted back desperately.
Down one in the closing seconds, LeVert drove into the lane, but had the ball poked away. It rolled out of bounds and the Nets’ chances of winning the game rolled away with it.
It took some of the shine off a career-high-matching 27 points. The Nets warned us since training camp this was coming. Players, coaches … none of them could stop raving about how much better LeVert was coming into the season.
