Ya win some ... then you win some more. Not only did the Nets trounce the fourth seed Hornets, 120-108, Thursday night, they introduced a new starter, LaMarcus Aldridge.
Aldridge, who hadn’t played in a month after being shut down by the Spurs, had 11 points, nine rebounds, six assists, two steals, a 3-pointer and a block in 33 minutes. His +22 rating was his best since December 28, 2019 and in one first quarter stretch the 6’11” center accounted for 15 straight points for Brooklyn, either scoring or assisting.
The opponent Sunday afternoon will be the new-look Chicago Bulls.
