Nets getting in tune with Atkinson’s ‘motion’
Brooklyn’s Balanced Effort Leads to Victory over Visiting Minnesota
The national pollsters underestimated Donald J. Trump, and the NBA prognosticators, at least through seven games, appear to have done the same with the Brooklyn Nets.
Brook Lopez spearheaded a balanced Brooklyn attack Tuesday night that saw six players score in double figures and eight men put up at least nine points in a 119-110 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves in front of 13,610 fans at Downtown’s Barclays Center, many of whom doubtlessly rushed home to see the results of one of our nation’s most surprising election results.
Lopez scored 26 points, Trevor Booker added 15 and nine rebounds, Sean Kilpatrick added 14 points off the bench and Bojan Bogdanovic and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson finished with 11 apiece as the Nets climbed to 3-4 on the young season after many predicted they would vie for the league’s worst record during their fifth season in our fair borough.
