It took a little while for the Brooklyn Nets to gain an edge, but they were able to sneak past the Charlotte Hornets on Friday with a 111-104 win.
Jarrett Allen had himself another double-double — his seventh in a row — but, this time, he was not the only Net to do so.
Spencer Dinwiddie scored 13 points — marking only the second time he’s scored less than 20 since Kyrie Irving was sidelined by a right shoulder impingement — and logged a season-high 12 assists.
As a whole, the Nets distributed the ball well. Taurean Prince and Joe Harris had five assists apiece, Garrett Temple finished with four and DeAndre Jordan, Dzanan Musa and Iman Shumpert each had three.

David Nwaba continues to provide a spark off the bench on both offense and defense. In 16 minutes of action, he scored a season-high 13 points on 5-for-9 shooting (2-for-3 from long-range).
