When push came to shove, it was Brooklyn’s three guys from last season who stepped up and got them the victory: Spencer Dinwiddie, Joe Harris and Jarrett Allen.
This game was about as ugly as games get. The two teams went back and forth throughout, looking as if everyone morphed back into another dimension where putting a ball through a hoop wasn’t a concept.
In the end, the Nets and Pelicans found themselves in an overtime game after a horrible night of shooting by both teams. The fact the Nets were even in position to win was impressive, given how poorly they shot.
