NEW YORK (AP) — Caris LeVert scored 23 points and the Nets gave D’Angelo Russell a bruising welcome back to Brooklyn with a 129-88 rout of the Golden State Warriors on Wednesday night.
On the eve of the NBA’s trade deadline, the Warriors held out Glenn Robinson III and Alec Burks, who had been two of their most productive players lately.
The guys who did play were run off the floor, falling behind 20-4, missing 20 of their 22 3-point attempts in the first half and trailing by as many as 44 points.
Joe Harris added 17 points and Garrett Temple had 16 for the Nets, who beat the Warriors for the first time in nearly five years.
