Jarrett Allen logs another double-double, helps lead Nets past Hornets

When Jarrett Allen wasn’t dominating Charlotte, DeAndre Jordan made sure life was still difficult for the Hornets.

There were a few moments where it looked like Wednesday’s game might get away from the Brooklyn Nets — particularly in the fourth quarter, when the Nets didn’t hit a shot until the 5:45 mark. But the Nets were able to hold on, bouncing back from Monday’s loss to the Indiana Pacers with a 101-91 win over the Charlotte Hornets.

Jarrett Allen logged yet another double-double — the big man leads the team with five. He led all scoring with 22 points and logged a game-high 17 rebounds.

Allen’s performance against the Hornets marked the first time in the 2019-20 season where he logged 20-plus points and 10-plus rebounds. It’s the fourth 20-10 game of his career.

But Allen wasn’t the only Nets center who played well. In his 20 minutes of action, DeAndre Jordan scored 14 points on 5 of 5 shooting. He also had seven rebounds.

Both Spencer Dinwiddie and Taurean Prince scored 20 points. Prince went 4-for-9 from three and was the one to snap Brooklyn’s cold streak at the start of the fourth quarter.

Dinwiddie also had eight assists, while Prince had eight rebounds.

Joe Harris wasn’t at his best offensively. The sharpshooter went 2-for-6 from three, 3-for-12 overall. His one bucket inside the arc was a fast break slam.
