NEW YORK — The Brooklyn Nets hosted the Washington Wizards for some Sunday afternoon basketball and won 102-94.
For the Nets, Mikal Bridges had 27 points and 13 rebounds while Cam Johnson had 14 points and six rebounds. Spencer Dinwiddie had 12 points and Nic Claxton had 10 points.
For the Wizards, Bilal Coulibaly had 20 points and seven rebounds while Kyle Kuzma had 15 points and four rebounds. Deni Avdija had 14 points and Jordan Poole had 12 points.
In the first half, Brooklyn got out to a fast start as they went up 16-6 with 5:25 left in the first quarter. Washington closed the gap in the second quarter as the shooting for the Nets fell off by a considerable amount compared to how they were shooting in the first quarter.
In the second half, it seemed that both teams were in cruise control as each team took turns committing inexplicable turnovers or missing easy shots that they probably make in their sleep. In the end, the Nets made about two or three plays when they mattered most to help them come away with the win after this eyesore of a game.
