From the moment D’Angelo Russell joined the Nets in the Brook Lopez trade in June, the focus has been on how the chemistry would work between he and Jeremy Lin. If the preseason opener is any indication, Russell and Lin might form a point guard platoon.
Both started the Nets’ 115-107 win over the Knicks Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden but were on the floor together for just the first 4:25 of the opening half and the first 5:14 of the third quarter. They alternated the rest of the time before both sat down for the final 18 minutes
Coach Kenny Atkinson said Nets fans can expect to see more of the same.
