With the NBA on hiatus and New York continuing its battle against the novel coronavirus outbreak, Brooklyn Nets games will not be played for the foreseeable future.
For the Nets, as much as any team, this comes at an odd time — Brooklyn was battling the Orlando Magic for the seventh spot in the Eastern Conference standings. At the stoppage of play, the Nets had a half-game advantage over the Magic.
Since there aren’t any games, each day Nets Wire will highlight impressive individual performances and major moments throughout Nets history:
Jerry Stackhouse’s last stop on his impressive 18-year NBA run was Brooklyn. He was far from the All-Star guard he’d been in 2000 and 2001, but Stackhouse still had his moments in the 2012-13 season.
For instance, the last time he ever finished in double figures in an NBA game came when the Nets knocked off the Indiana Pacers 117-109 on April 12 (full box score). At 38 years old, Stackhouse scored 13 points on 4-for-6 shooting. It was only the sixth time he’d finished in double figures for the Nets — he scored his season-high 17 points in a November game against the Celtics.
Against the Pacers, Deron Williams scored 33 points and had 14 assists. Both Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson scored 24 points apiece.
