It was all Nets and a bonafide Brooklyn blowout Thursday night.
Without James Harden and Blake Griffin, the Nets drew on LaMarcus Aldridge and he shined in his Nets debut as Brooklyn defeated Charlotte, 111-89. With the win, the Nets remain on top of the East with a 34-15 record and have now won 20 of their last 23 games and seven home wins in a row. Nets are now 20-6 at Barclays Center for the season.
Facing a well-rested yet shorthanded Hornets team, Aldridge got the start for his Nets debut and didn’t disappoint. The 6’11” big played his game and meshed quite well with his new teammates as he finished with 11 points, nine rebounds, six assists, two steals and a block in 30 minutes.
