Notes
All five Brooklyn Nets starters were deemed out (rest/recovery) by Coach Avery Johnson, who wanted to not only ensure they were ready to go for the home back-to-back Thursday and Friday, but also get a look at some of the reserve combinations and players he had yet to see in game action...F Mirza Teletovic, who scored 18 points in 25 minutes, played center in several small lineups, including the end of the game...Rookie G Tyshawn Taylor, debuting after a right quad strain kept him out of the first two preseason games, posted 6 points and 5 assists (1 turnover) in 17 minutes...F Toko Shengelia, who put the Nets ahead in the final minute with a thunderous and-one dunk, posted 11 points (5-9 FGs), 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and a block in 26 minutes.
