Veteran LaMarcus Aldridge came off the bench to contribute 16 points and seven boards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I think we\u2019re starting to build some chemistry playing with Kyrie [Irving] and James [Harden],\u201d Aldridge said. \u201cAnd I think as we play more and more that should get better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was jealous of [Sharpe] having 10 rebounds so fast. I feel like as the older guy, I never get easy rebounds and I feel like he just runs into them, so I was jealous of that. But I definitely feel like the rhythm is getting better with us three.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The third Aldridge referred to is Blake Griffin. With Nic Claxton still sidelined, Griffin chipped in 10 points and five rebounds Friday, finishing a plus-six in 11:25.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"652\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/DayRon-Sharpe-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Center Day\u2019Ron Sharpe slams one home during the Nets' win over the Spurs.\" class=\"wp-image-20933858\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/DayRon-Sharpe-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/DayRon-Sharpe-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/DayRon-Sharpe-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/01\/DayRon-Sharpe-2.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Center Day\u2019Ron Sharpe slams one home during the Nets\u2019 win over the Spurs.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cWe kind of know that\u2019s a scenario that could h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>en. I wanted to get [Griffin] a chance,\u201d Nash said. \u201cHe didn\u2019t really get a chance last outing so he came in. I thought he did a great job. I thought [Sharpe] did some great things, got 10 rebounds and was a good screener-and-roller. Looked a little bit tired at times and then [Aldridge] was super-solid making shots and a big night for him coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Sharpe and Aldridge combined for 41 points on 16-for-21 shooting Wednesday in the 119-118 win over the Wizards. They combined to go 9-for-9 from the free-throw line, grab 12 rebounds, hand out five assists and block three shots. They also did not commit a single turnover in 48 combined minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Adding Griffin to the mix Friday against the Spurs, the trio combined for 32 points on 15-for-28 shooting with 22 rebounds and finished a plus-15.<\/p>\n<p>It helped that the foul-prone Sharpe \u2014 who had averaged more than 4.3 fouls in his prior six games \u2014 committed just one against the Spurs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMan, I try to talk to him but it\u2019s just \u2026\u201d Aldridge said with a laugh of his overzealous rookie prot\u00e9g\u00e9. \u201cBut he plays hard, so I think that\u2019s part of growing as a big is to learn to play hard and not foul.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>The Nets could be adding another young big to the mix. The G-League Long Island Nets acquired 24-year-old Thon Maker via the available player pool.<\/p>\n<p>The 7-foot, 240-pounder had played eight games with the Cavaliers in 2020-21, and had most recently been playing in Israel.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Claxton (left hamstring tightness) is questionable for the game Sunday.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
