The Lakers finally managed their first win of the season, aided by the debuts of Metta World Peace and Larry Nance, Jr.
The Lakers collected their first win of the season against the hapless Brooklyn Nets, 104-98, Friday night at the Barclays Center by finally holding an opponent under 100 points. The Nets are one of three winless teams remaining in the league, along with the Pelicans and the 76ers.
Los Angeles took control of the game in the second quarter after turning in yet another slow start. The Lakers held Brooklyn to 8-of-19 shooting in the period for 20 points.
