Theo Pinson is expected on the Brooklyn Nets bench Friday. The Nets two-way might be tired after playing 40 minutes but he’s certainly exhilarated after scoring 43 points Thursday as the short-handed Long Island Nets beat the Maine Red Claws, 121-109, in Portland.
Long Island (17-6) was led by Pinson, who finished 17-of-29 shooting, including 7-of-13 from downtown. Here’s his highlight reel...
Okaro White, the 6’8” forward signed earlier in the week, had with 17 points, while Kamari Murphy added 16 points. Tahjere McCall and Shannon Scott, LIN’s vets, scored 12 points each and Thomas Wimbush recorded a 10 point-10 rebound double-double.
