Six Brooklyn Nets scored in double figures in Brooklyn’s 116-85 win over Oklahoma City. Brook Lopez returned to the Nets lineup and scored 18 points in his first regular-season game in almost a whole calendar year, leading the Nets to the biggest home-opening victory in franchise history. The Nets got a 116-85 victory over the injury-riddled Thunder on Monday night.
Alan Anderson dropped 18 points coming off the bench and Deron Williams had 17 points and 9 dimes for the Nets, who got their best inside option back on a night in which the Thunder, already without All-Stars Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, lost yet another player to injury.
Perry Jones III finished with 16 points and 4 rebounds. Sebastian Telfair finished with 16 points 6 assists and 5 rebounds. Reggie Jackson scored 23 points in his season debut after missing the first three games with a right ankle sprain. With only nine players available, Jackson logged 42 minutes, shooting 8 of 20. The Thunder left just as injured as they entered when starting shooting guard, Andre Roberson, sprained his left foot. He played just over 11 minutes of the first half and left on crutches.
Lopez shot 6 of 10 from the field and 6 of 7 from the foul line in 24 minutes, highlighted by a powerful dunk off a pass from Kevin Garnett in the first half. The Nets led by as many as 35 in the second half and held on for the 21 point win.
