Brooklyn Nets: New shot clock rules still a work in progress
It was a scenario we saw play out more than once this preseasion: The Brooklyn Nets get an offensive rebound and get caught thinking they had more time.
Late in Friday night’s win at Madison Square Garden, Treveon Graham made a huge play for the Brooklyn Nets, corralling a missed Jarrett Allen free throw and allowing the Nets, nursing a 10-point lead with a little more than four minutes remaining, another valuable possession.
The ball was worked out to the perimeter, but the Nets were slow getting into their set. Spencer Dinwiddie dribbled the ball just outside the 3-point line near the sideline, glanced up at the shot clock and suddenly stepped back for an off-balance shot that missed.
