Robin Lopez knew that his twin Brook Lopez needed 34 points to break Buck Williams' Brooklyn Nets franchise scoring record after nine seasons with the franchise.
The mascot-hating brother couldn't help but give Brook a little bit of fraternal grief prior to the game.
“It took him long enough,” Robin said before the game, according to Steve Lichtenstein of CBS New York.
Though when it came time for Brook's Nets to face off his Chicago Bulls, Robin's teammate Rajon Rondo had only one thing in mind.
“Shut his ass down,” Rondo told Robin upon finding out of the mark, per Lichtenstein. “He ain't getting it tonight.”
The two twins have exchanged plenty of fun-loving shots between the two, with Brook most recently saying he'd be pulling for Serge Ibaka if him and his brother were to go at it again after coming to blows during the third quarter of a game last month.
Robin actually outscored his twin 16-to-13, but the Nets won 107-106 — thing that will prove much more costly to a Bulls team that is incessantly looking to hold onto the eighth spot in the East.
