#2 The Nets had a field-day shooting from all parts of the court

Brooklyn shot better than their season average

As a unit, the Brooklyn Nets shot a blazing 56.5% from the floor whilst restricting the Mavericks to just 35.6%(31-87). Both teams took an almost equal number of shots from the field with the hosts converting at a higher rate.

Brooklyn shot 60% in the final quarter to seal the deal, coming off poor shooting nights in all their recent losses. Caris LeVert came up with a valiant 18-point effort in his 27 minutes on the court, shooting a 5-11 from the field inclusive of two 3-pointers.

"I think we wanted to change something up, do something different. Him coming off the bench or starting, he told me this morning, `I really don't care, Coach, as long as I get my minutes," Atkinson said of LeVert, who was the team's leading scorer when he got hurt. "He got his minutes."

The Nets shot 17-41(41.5%) from the distance as a team, restricting their opposition to below 30% in the same region.
