US EditionNets Score 80 in First Half, Outclass Short-Handed Wizards
The Nets ended a three-game losing streak with a 127-113 win, scoring 80 first-half points and forcing 12 turnovers against the Wizards’ short-handed roster.
- On Saturday, the Brooklyn Nets used an 80-point first half to beat the Washington Wizards 127-113 at Barclays Center, with Michael Porter Jr. scoring 23 points.
- Because recent acquisitions weren’t available and injuries lingered, Washington had limited depth, with only eight players available after multiple roster moves and injuries, including Alex Sarr, Kyshawn George, and Bilal Coulibaly being ruled out.
- Sustained efficiency — 54.9% shooting and 66 points in the paint — built the margin, with Brooklyn scoring 46 points in the opening quarter, including a 23-3 run.
- The Nets' win snapped a three-game losing streak, and both teams remain 14-37, with Brooklyn hosting Chicago on Monday and Washington hosting Miami on Sunday.
- Bench bigs and rookies — including Day'Ron Sharpe, Danny Wolf and Ben Saraf — provided the depth that defined Brooklyn Nets' 56-point bench showing Saturday.
