For those who are part of the glass half full faction of Nets fandom, Laura Albanese of Newsday had some affirmation Monday. The Nets offense, which had been struggling while adjusting to the lack of Kyrie Irving, is back.
Despite the questions surrounding Kyrie Irving’s continued absence, the Nets’ offense has found a way to improve in recent weeks, with a second-best 112.2 offensive rating in their last 14 games (they’ve won 12). Despite Saturday’s missteps, they have looked better.
In fact, the Nets have moved into the top half of the NBA’s offenses for the season, jumping to 109.
