Michael Porter Jr. string music 🎯 25 and counting

Day’Ron Sharpe just joined Moses Malone and Jerome Lane as the only players in #NBA history to grab 500 offensive rebounds before playing their 3,000th minute (since they started tracking offensive/defensive boards in 1973-74). #Nets

Michael Porter Jr. was averaging 19.0 points on 48% shooting from the field and 40% from three. He's got 25 points on 10/13 from the field and 3/4 from three with eight minutes left in the third.

The Nets have opened the third quarter on a 13-6 run. They've cut the Hawks' lead to 70-64. Michael Porter Jr. has 25 points on 10/13 shooting from the field and 3/4 from three.

The Nets allowed the Hawks to close the quarter on a 34-15 run after jumping out to a 12-0 lead. They trail the Hawks 34-27 after one.

The Nets have allowed 29+ points in 14 out of 17 quarters this season.

First two-point attempt of Egor Demin's career.

off and runnin' 💨

Egor Demin checks in at PG out of the timeout.

Ben Saraf just got stripped at halfcourt, leading to a Hawks transition dunk. The rookie has three early turnovers. Atlanta has gone on a 16-5 run to cut the deficit to one.

Fairly insane pass from Ben Saraf in transition.

12-0 run to start the game, let's rock!

Not exactly an ideal start here in Brooklyn for the Hawks, who are already 1-3 on the year, as Cam Thomas and Nic Claxton have combined to give the Nets a 12-0 lead less than two and a half minutes in here at Barclays Center.

The Nets have jumped out to a 10-0 lead on the Hawls, who have missed their first five shots and aren't playing much defense.

gameday back in BK 🏠 @YESNetwork | @gothamsports

The Nets have recalled Drake Powell and Danny Wolf from G League Long Island. Ziaire Williams (Lower Back/Glute Contusion) is questionable tomorrow vs. Hawks. Haywood Highsmith (Right Knee Surgery, Injury Recovery) remains OUT.

#Nets forward Ziaire Williams is questionable tomorrow against the #Hawks after missing last night's game with a lower back/glute contusion. #NBA

I wrote about the Nets' defensive struggles and the vision Jordi Fernandez is trying to implement:

What rookies taken after Nets picks are doing after four games doesn’t bother me. Coward is 3 years older, Clifford is 4 years older than Demin, Traore and Saraf. What will bother me is if they don’t develop. We won’t know that for a while. (I am great bothered in general tho.)

Jordi Fernandez with the quick trigger timeout there. He's quite vexed, giving his #Nets an earful.

🗣️ OMG!!! this view of @terance_mann's dunk 🤯

halftime in Houston

That was a nice half from Cam Thomas. Only five points and one assist on 2/5 FG, but he kept the ball moving and got everyone involved. And guess what? The Nets' offense looked really good: 60 points 23/46 FG 11/25 from three (44%) 14 assists 2 turnovers
