He was scoreless with one rebound, one foul and two turnovers in 5:16. Duke Jr. had seven points, three boards and three assists \u2014 albeit four turnovers \u2014 in 25:15.<\/p>\n<p>Edwards may have had the biggest impact. He started and had six points, nine rebounds and a steal in 34:37. And with the Nets trailing by 14 in the third quarter, they went to a zone with the long-armed Edwards at the top of it.<\/p>\n<p>The move caught Indiana off guard. Brooklyn went on a 16-5 run to get back in it, switching back-and-forth from man to zone the rest of the way to pull out the come-from-behind victory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, so we really saved that,\u201d said Vaughn, \u201cWe didn\u2019t want to give it to him before halftime so they could adjust to it at halftime. So we kept it in our back pocket and little bit of a surprise attack and gave us some legs a little bit, slowed them down, kept us in front of the basketball.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we were actually able to rebound out of it, which a lot of times that\u2019s the challenge of zone. Then we mixed it up on them. When they went to the zone package, we were able to do go zone to man back to zone back to man and create a little bit of agitation for them. We want it to be the aggressors and the zone allowed us to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Markieff Morris is coming off his first double-double (15 points and 11 rebounds), but he had other good <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> Saturday.
