"The rebound that kept the season's most dramatic possession alive. The kick out that found Dëmin's hands instead of a Magic jersey. The jump ball win in overtime that immediately turned into another Nets lead, though they went on to suffer a hard-fought 104-103 loss. The screens, the box-outs, the physicality that never shows up on the stat sheet but keeps games from slipping away."
"Sharpe has made a habit of that kind of impact lately. Thrust into the starting lineup for three straight games in place of Nic Claxton, he's quietly put together one of the most productive stretches of his career. Over those three starts, Sharpe has averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 56% from the field in 30.7 minutes per game."
Day'Ron Sharpe delivered relentless, physical plays that enabled late-game opportunities, including a rebound that led to Egor Dëmin's game-tying 3-pointer. Sharpe started three straight games in place of Nic Claxton and averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks while shooting 56% in 30.7 minutes per game. Sharpe focused on contact, sealing space, setting screens, boxing out, and chasing loose balls rather than hunting shots. Those actions produced a critical kick-out and an overtime jump-ball win that temporarily swung momentum to the Nets. The Nets ultimately lost 104-103.
