The Nets are now number 4 in the East. Just like that. Another example of a strong 2nd unit that beat the Pacers yesterday without Kyrie, KD, and Ben.
That's an impressive performance for the 2nd unit of Nets. They are really proving that they are competitive and they did it in a surprising way, teamwork and trust each other.
Another case of players taking advantage of the rare opportunities given to them. I'm honestly glad that vets like Mills and youngsters like Thomas suddenly puts up big numbers. It's refreshing and hopefully that continues for the sake of the club. People are getting tired of the toxicity around their "big 3".
Specially for Mills, I mean when he has acquired by the Nets, there are a lot of hopes that he can contribute but then he become so inconsistent. But without their big 3, then he has to rise to the occasions, same with the rest of the young players as they have to show up in the games. They will have to face the Washington Wizards next at their homecourt, this is going to be fun as they look for a momentum to stay at top 4 in the East.
Good win again by the Lakers, but it wasn't easy as it looks and then Joel Embiid, another 50++ point performance from him.
