The Nets were getting their tails kicked Friday night in Boston when they responded with a simple concept:
“Yeah, everyone is learning on the fly,” said Spencer Dinwiddie, who was acquired in the Irving deal.
The pace didn’t pick up immediately upon Dinwiddie and the other newcomers getting to Brooklyn, but close enough. Through Irving’s finale with the Nets on Feb. 1, the Nets were just 21st in the league in pace at 98.93. “Offensively, we paid off by getting off and playing with pace,” coach Jacque Vaughn said. “Our small-ball helped us to get rhythm shots, and as they were running back in transitions our cross matches really paid in our advantage. Some really good things for our group.”A couple of cross matches late in the first half Friday typified that.
