The Brooklyn Nets were forced to move on without the Eastern Conference Player of the Month, James Harden. The team responded and basically said “no problem.” The Nets put together a dominate performance in the first half, leading by 29 at one point. LaMarcus Aldridge wasted no time getting acclimated too with his new squad. He ended the first half with 9 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. It was as if he was already on the team before signing last week.
The second half was all but the same for the first seed Nets; however, the intensity definitely decreased. In the end though, it was enough to pick up the win comfortably. Jeff Green finished with a team high 21 points. Aldridge finished his debut with a near triple-double: 11 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Uncle Drew had a great night of his own as well, especially rebounding the ball. He had 15 points, 11 rebounds, and 8 assists.
