#FreeJah? Not so fast.
The Nets didn’t need him just yet. While all the hype was around Jahlil Okafor’s debut with the Nets, they handled business against the Washington Wizards, 103-98, Tuesday night at Barclays Center. The Wizards played without John Wall and the Nets capitalized and won their third game in the last four. They’re 11-15 on the season and remain 2.5 games back of the eight seed.
The two teams were knotted up at 51 apiece at half when the Nets came out of the gates and took a 14-point lead, following a 11-0 run.
