“#Nets not taking defense for granted<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

While the Nets are relying on talent to primarily anchor their offense, it app<\/a>ears their scoring prowess has translated to the other end.<\/p>\n

Asked Thursday which area of the Nets\u2019 game<\/a> he thought was the most \u201cahead of schedule,\u201d first-year coach Steve Nash pointed to the defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know about ahead of schedule, but I thought the defense was pretty solid for the most part,\u201d he said on a Zoom call. \u201cWe were implementing our principles, we\u2019re getting better at those every day, which is really important and the No. 1 priority. I wouldn\u2019t say ahead of schedule, but I was pleased with the effort and the concentration and the connectivity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joe Harris acknowledged that the Nets have the luxury of having several players who can isolate and get a basket. As a result, they have been able to force opponents to play at their pace.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that it makes it easy, too, where the ball is really spraying around, guys are really playing quick, decisively on that end,\u201d Harris said. \u201cIt makes the offense flow and allows guys to play with a lot of energy on the defensive end.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also know, though, that great teams are usually anchored by their defense. And so for us, we\u2019re finding it even easier offensively when our defense is able to get stops and we\u2019re able to get out in transition.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Nets recorded seven blocks and 11 steals in the 125-99 win over the Warriors on Tuesday. Additionally, the Nets had 28 fast-break points, more than double their average from last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the gravity that people create also creates transition buckets,\u201d Spencer Dinwiddie said. \u201cSometimes people will kind of buddy run with great players, so you\u2019ve got Joe out there, people might buddy run with him, and Kyrie [Irving] and [Kevin Durant] and stuff like that. That opens up a lane, because now they\u2019re all taking their man and running next to each other. It\u2019s just a combination of a lot of things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The Nets are 4-5 in games on Christmas Day. They lost their two most recent appearances, in 2012 and 2013, their first two seasons in Brooklyn.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
