"They made shots," Vaughn said after practice Friday. "... I watched the game [film] a few ways. I watched it in succession of the 3s that they made and why they made the 3s and who made them. A high level of those were contested, whether Trae shot a 35-footer, whether we had some in transition that we shouldn't have given up, whether [Dejounte] Murray squares up three dudes and makes a shot. So you gotta look at the quality of those shots at the time."
"We're doing a lot different defensive scheme than I think a lot of players are used to doing," first-year Net Lonnie Walker IV said. "And that just comes with repetition, trusting each other and growing with it."
Partly as a result of their rebounding issues last season, the Nets this season have switched far less often on pick-and-rolls. Not switching helps ensure the Nets' best rebounders are not pulled away from the rim.
