Coming off a 29-point loss against the Indiana Pacers, the Nets got a much needed win over the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, 101-91. They were led by Jarrett Allen, who finished the night with 22 points and 17 rebounds — both season-highs.
Entering Wednesday at 5-8 with Kyrie Irving and Caris LeVert out, it would be no easy task... or pretty one.
The Nets led by just five after an awfully slow-paced first half. They needed a spark — anything to get them going. Allen came out of the half with nine points in the first five minutes, dominating his match up all night against Cody Zeller, who was contained to just five points and seven rebounds.
