The Brooklyn Nets (10 - 12) defeated the Charlotte Hornets (6 - 17) 114 - 87 on Saturday. Brooklyn has won two straight, and they earned Saturday's win without several of their frontcourt players. Brook Lopez remains out indefinitely with a lower back injury, while Kevin Garnett sat out to rest his foot on the second night of a back - to - back, and Mirza Teletovic missed a third straight game with a hip pointer. Mason Plumlee played well as the starting center, recording his second straight double - double with 11 points and 13 rebounds. Cory Jefferson earned the first start of his career and put 11 points and five rebounds in 23 minutes. Charlotte has lost two straight, and despite the Nets rolling out their third - string frontcourt, Charlotte was unable to capitalize on the opportunity. Brooklyn shot an absurd 58 percent from the field and 70 percent from beyond the arc to decimate the Hornets' defense, while Charlotte shot just 39 percent from the field and 63 percent from the free - throw line. The Nets have two days off before they'll host the Miami Heat on Monday. Charlotte will go on the road to play the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday.
