The Nets were surgical in a thorough, wire-to-wire dismantling of the Spurs, 139-103, on Monday at Barclays Center.
Yuta Watanabe was feeling it, rattling off five straight second-quarter points and wanting the ball again. The Nets fed their sharpshooter, who penetrated to the left elbow and forced a pull-up that clanged off the rim.
The Nets were surgical in a thorough, wire-to-wire dismantling of the Spurs, 139-103, on Monday at Barclays Center, where 18,224 witnessed the Nets’ NBA-best 12th straight win and their 16th in their past 17 games. Kyrie Irving is greeted by Kevin Durant and Nic Claxton during the Nets rout of the Spurs on Monday night.Jacque Vaughn’s team has won in a variety of ways through this season-changing spurt, learning to play together and learning to steal games that it may have lost at the onset of the season. But rarely have the Nets won with so much authority.
In a matchup that had potential “trap game” written all over it — a pit stop at home against the miserable Spurs following a three-game road trip and before another three-game trip — Vaughn’s team did not look past Popovich’s. The Nets, who never trailed for a second straight game, played as if they needed the game — which meant it was not a game for long.The Nets led by as many as 14 in the first quarter and ballooned the edge to 28 in the second.
