It was our old friend Goran Dragic, who drew first blood against Miami tonight starting the Nets out on what would become a 7-3 run to start the game. Thankfully, Miami’s depth was productive to start with Max Strus, Bam Adebayo, and Yurt all doing work to tie the game up.
Kevin Durant shook off the rust in his return as he scored easily from mid and long-range. With Durant’s scoring and Goran conducting Brooklyn’s offense exceptionally well, Brooklyn’s lead quickly ballooned to 11.
With Miami struggling, it was Bam who’d anchor the offense as he drove aggressively and did work in the post.
