Nets vs. Trail Blazers Post Game Recap 11/25

The Brooklyn Nets were able to pickup their second straight win beating the Portland Trail Blazers 98-85, as the Trail Blazers were without their star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge who sat out with back spasms.

The Nets were led by shooting guard Joe Johnson who had his second straight nice game, as it seems he is starting to get into a groove with his new team. Johnson led the Nets in scoring with 21 points on 10 for 19 shooting, and added four assists.

Deron Williams who is still banged up, and far from 100 percent healthy didn’t shoot the ball well again, but that didn’t stop him from recording his 5th double-double of the season. Williams finished scoring 15 points on four for 13 shooting, but had 12 assists, and a career-high four blocks.

Kris Humphries had a solid game for Brooklyn notching a double-double with 14 points on seven for nine shooting, and had 10 rebounds.

Gerald Wallace had a disappointing first game against is former team, as Wallace missed his first seven shots from the field finishing the game going one for eight with only two points, and a rebound.

Brook Lopez had another strong game continuing his good start to the season thus far, as Lopez scored 15 points on seven for 14 shooting with eight rebounds, and two blocks.

Reggie Evans had yet another strong game off the bench rebounding, as in just 22 minutes Evans grabbed 14 rebounds making it three out of the last four games Evans has had double-digit rebounds.

Next up for the Nets will be the New York Knicks on Monday in the Barclays Center in the highly anticipated match-up that was postponed due to Hurricane Sandy.
