Whew! After two lackluster preseason contests that made a lot of fans anxious, the Brooklyn Nets looked pretty close to what fans have hoped for Wednesday: an aggressive outfit on both ends of the court with Ben Simmons looking like the ideal complement to Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Three times during the second half, the Nets lead reached 19 points. All was right — for now — in NetsWorld.
On Friday night, the Nets, now 1-2 in the preseason, will go up against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the the finale of the NBA’s preliminaries.
