Nets win first game under Jacque Vaughn

Jacque Vaughn decided to start DeAndre Jordan over Jarrett Allen on Sunday, and both responded well in the Brooklyn Nets’ win.

Jacque Vaughn’s first move as head coach of the Brooklyn Nets was a bit surprising — he elected to start DeAndre Jordan over Jarrett Allen.

Although the veteran big man has been more impactful of late, Allen has been a staple in the Nets’ starting lineup since last season.

Jordan responded by grabbing 15 rebounds, scoring 11 points and blocking three shots in his 29 minutes of action. Allen also did well with his 19 minutes of work, finishing with 11 points, six rebounds and a blocked shot.

Both of the Nets big men helped their teammates out-rebound the Bulls 50-31, en route to a 110-107 Nets win, Jacque Vaughn’s first as Nets head coach.

Spencer Dinwiddie led the Nets in scoring with 24 points. Joe Harris and Caris LeVert were right behind him with 23 points apiece.

Harris went 3-for-7 from deep and LeVert went 4-for-6. Dinwiddie knocked down 14 of his 15 free-throw attempts.

Taurean Prince came off the bench again while Wilson Chandler started. Prince scored seven points and grabbed nine boards.
