For the first time since Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving left town, it appeared on Wednesday there could be a new star in the Nets’ pipeline.
Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving left town barely a week ago, but it appeared on Wednesday night that the Nets may have a new star.
The fifth-place Nets will enter the All-Star break on a positive note as they moved 2 ½ games up on the Heat , who fell to the seventh seed because the sixth-place Knicks won Wednesday. Games like this one will be important for the Nets to avoid the play-in tournament. When Irving and Durant left, the Nets not only lost stars, but also game plans. Their offense had been built around the pair of all-time scorers.Wednesday, Bridges led the starting group and Cam Thomas paced the reserves, showing the blueprint for a defense-minded team trying to find its way.
Bridges went 6-for-8 to score 17 points in a strong first half, emerging as the No. 1 option. When the Heat extended their lead to six late in the second quarter, it was Bridges who called for the ball and responded with a banked runner, also drwaing a foul. He sank the free throw to cut the gap to three.
