Before the Nets hosted the Spurs, Kenny Atkinson talked about the need to cash in on this string of home games, and to get Caris LeVert back in sync. He saw his Nets do both.
The Nets ran out to a huge lead and cruised to a comfortable 101-85 rout of San Antonio before 13,479 at Barclays Center. And they saw LeVert play a huge role.
D’Angelo Russell had a team-high 23 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. But the most auspicious sign was the play of LeVert.
