Going Big: Nets’ Lopez-Blatche alignment buries hapless Hornets at Barclays Center
The Nets have four days off to tweak their new look. Let’s call it Big and Bigger.
After flirting with putting his two centers on the floor at the same time for the past few weeks, Brooklyn interim coach P.J. Carlesimo finally went all the way Tuesday night at the Barclays Center.
All-Star Brook Lopez and Andray Blatche gave the sellout crowd of 17,332 an indication of how well they can play together, combining for 44 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and four blocked shots in the Nets’ 108-98 victory over the New Orleans Hornets.
