In the Nets’ season-opening loss in Detroit, Caris LeVert saw a career night end with a turnover on the pivotal last-minute play. When he got another chance in Friday’s home opener, he capped another career-night with the game-winner.
The Nets came from behind to pull out a 107-105 win over the Knicks before a sellout crowd of 17,732 at Barclays Center, and they did it behind LeVert. He snapped the Nets’ four-game skid against their rivals and showed why he’s rapidly becoming their best player.
LeVert had a career-high 28 points, six rebounds and five assists.
