New Net Schroder ready for Boston two-step
Brooklyn hosts Celtics in opener of home-and-home series
After an impressive Barclays Center debut, newly acquired Nets point guard Dennis Schroder will have the Brooklyn faithful behind him heading into this week’s home-and-home, back-to-back series with the league-best Boston Celtics.
“I’m glad we got the win,” Schroder said Saturday night after coming off the bench to amass 15 points and 12 assists during the Nets’ 123-103 rout of visiting San Antonio. “I think that’s the most important.”
Schroder, who arrived here in the deal that sent Spencer Dinwiddie to Toronto at last Thursday’s trade deadline, went 6-of-13 from the floor, including a 3-of-5 effort from 3-point range, in 27 solid minutes.
