The Brooklyn Nets (2-1) came off a tough loss against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday thanks to how poorly they shot the ball as a team. To that point, Brooklyn had a good opportunity coming into Tuesday as they were reeling from a loss while facing their rival in the New York Knicks (0-2) on Tuesday.
The Nets beat the Knicks 92-85 despite trailing by as many as 21 points in their matchup in the Las Vegas Summer League thanks to a 27-point effort from forward Jalen Wilson. Wilson has been arguably Brooklyn’s best player over the past two summers as he has used his experience as a former Player of the Year in college to his advantage.
Wilson shot 8-of-16 from the field and 5-of-10 from three-point range to lead the team on the offensive end, but he had some help as well from some of his more experience teammates. Tyrese Martin came off the bench to help with the scoring by dropping 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting from the field and 3-of-4 from deep.
Jacob Gilyard also had a good outing for the Nets as he put up 13 points along with seven steals to hold down the point guard position for Brooklyn on both ends of the floor. Dariq Whitehead continued his immense struggles shooting the basketball as he finished with just one point on 0-of-10 shooting from the floor.
