The Brooklyn Nets are back on track, so to speak, after beating the Indiana Pacers at home on Monday night. Sure, a 2-5 record isn’t ideal, but at this point we’re in a “one game at a time”, slash, “baby steps” kind of position.
Ben Simmons (back) didn’t play on Monday and, well, the offense hummed on Monday.
Ball is hopping. Defense is engaged. Nets don’t have to worry about incorporating a non-shooting point guard into a lineup that already struggles with spacing.
Definitely playing with more urgency, but I don’t think this is a coincidence.
