Nick Nurse points to the Nets’ pace so far this preseason as a challenge tonight:
“The thing they’re doing here in Brooklyn is playing with a ton of pace, make or miss. It’s gonna be a good challenge to get our defense set up and see if we can slow them down a little bit.” – 6:06 PM

Vaughn on Ben Simmons: “In the offseason there are no games, no practices; Im not worried about lineups & how the team will react and those things you worry about throughout the year…(Time) heals a lot of things & ended up healing a lot of uncertainty with Ben & I.” #Nets – 5:55 PM
