The Brooklyn Nets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, 107 - 97, Wednesday at Barclays Center. The Nets (7 - 17) came into Wednesday's matchup as losers of five of their last six games, but were able to pull out a victory thanks to a pair of great performances from their starting wings. Bojan Bogdanovic scored a team - high 23 points, while Sean Kilpatrick added 22 points of his own. And while neither shot particularly well from the field, as they combined for a 11 - of - 26 shooting performance, they did excel at the free throw line, hitting 17 - of - 20 from the stripe. In fact, as a team, the Nets really struggled from the field overall, shooting just 38 percent overall. But again, they got to the line and hit their free throws, shooting 30 - of - 40 from the charity stripe, and it was those free shots that ultimately led them to victory. The Lakers (10 - 18), on the other hand, managed to have an even worse night shooting than Brooklyn en route to their eighth straight loss, as Los Angeles shot 38 percent from the field themselves and a sorry 22 percent from behind the arc. On top of that, they shot just 68 percent from the free throw line. No Laker in particular stood out Wednesday, as Lou Williams led the team in scoring with just 16 points off the bench, while Timofey Mozgov posted a double - double of 12 points and 13 rebounds. The Lakers just failed to be on the same page throughout Wednesday's contest, managing just 11 total assists to their 10 turnovers. Up next, the Nets will travel to Orlando on Friday to take on the Magic, while the Lakers will head to Philadelphia on Friday to play the 76ers.
