Dante Cunningham didn’t put up big numbers in his Brooklyn Nets debut but they were solid —two points, two assists, two steals as well as five rebounds in 19 minutes. More important, his plus/minus number was a game-high +21. Much of his time on the court came during the Nets big comeback.
Not bad for a guy who arrived Saturday and had only three hours with the team playbook. He came to Brooklyn from New Orleans in a deadline deal Thursday, so he knew a bit about the opponent.
Before the game, he had another debut, this one with the media.
