Looks like Rambis working with them clearly helped a little. Won't expect a defensive juggernaut, but the full court pressure defense was very effective.

FINAL
NYK 110 BKN 96

1) Jennings was the player of the game. Not only for his playmaking skills but for his defensive tenacity and ball pressure he applied from the minute he came on the court. Him and Sasha set the tone for the defense in the 2nd half and allowed our comeback. No Drose back in the game with Jennings going. Horny needs to find Jennings at least 25 mpg going forward. He is a spark for this team.

2) The Coming Out Party for Willy. He came in, in the 2nd half and never came back out. His good hands and ability to finish around the rim is much needed on this team with Noah sometimes an offensive liability. I believe Willy has earned backup C duties over KOQ after this game.

3) Kuz getting an extended run in the 2nd half when the Knicks broke it open. He has proven he needs to be part of the rotation going forward.

4) When Melo is in, ISO Melo is okay if he has the hot hand like tonight in the 3rd. Brought our team back by himself with Jennings realizing he was en fuego and giving him the rock. This is how you use Melo when he's on the court. KP, with Melo out, took over in the 4th. Again, with Jennings force feeding him the ball. Our stars need to rotate the scoring load like this.

5) Good win but let's relax. It's the Nets. They play hard but they stink. Not very talented, undermanned and caught them on a back to back. This is a game we HAVE to win.
