Nets sticking with the ‘back-up plan’
Brooklyn Thriving With Lopez and Williams Coming Off Bench
If it ain’t broke, Lionel Hollins isn’t the least bit interested in fixing it.
The Nets’ first-year coach intimated as much Monday night after his new starting five posted its fourth victory in five games, 107-88, over the Sacramento Kings before a sellout crowd of 17,732 at Downtown’s Barclays Center.
With the high-priced (approximately $35 million) tandem of Brook Lopez and Deron Williams again coming off the bench, Joe Johnson, Kevin Garnett, Mason Plumlee, Sergey Karasev and Jarrett Jack continued to help the Nets close in on the .500 mark entering Tuesday night’s visit to Chicago.
