It doesn’t rain that often in LA but the Nets made everyone at Staples wear galoshes as they poured it on.
Without Kevin Durant, the Nets put on a show under the Staples Center lights, blowing out the Lakers, 109-98, in an all-around team effort as five Nets (two off the bench) finished in double-figures.
James Harden, who scored a team-high 23 points to go along with six rebounds and 11 assists in 38 minutes was followed by Joe Harris, who had a breakout game from deep, hitting 6-of-7 threes to finish adding up to 21 points in 30 minutes while Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot led the bench crew with 15 points in 27 minutes off the bench, nailing a career five threes.
