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:
Before the New Jersey Nets visited the Orlando Magic on April 21, 1991, Chris Morris had logged 10 assists in a game once. It happened over two months before the Nets’ 120-110 loss to Orlando (full box score).
But on this trip, Morris would reach the mark again. Additionally, he scored 17 points for New Jersey, and — unlike his previous 10-assist performance — Morris also finished with double-digits in the rebounding column (14).
This marked the 1988 draft pick’s first triple-double of his NBA career. Morris went on to play in the league through 1998-99, but he would never log another triple-double.
