112 to 77, this time it really wasn't about the Lakers' defense being that good, but rather the Brooklyn Nets' shooting being abysmally off the mark. The Lakers butchered the Nets by 35 points, elevating their record to 37 wins and 9 losses!
Tonight Zhang Hao played for 22 minutes, shooting 6 out of 10, with 1 out of 1 from three-point range, plus 4 out of 4 free throws, tallying 17 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 block. He was substituted after playing two minutes in the third quarter due to the substantial lead, as Del Harris was also preparing for tomorrow's game against the Utah Jazz.
The best preparation is naturally ensuring the stamina of key players in back-to-back games.
After this clash with the Brooklyn Nets, Zhang Hao completely let go of any sentiments towards the Nets. The next encounter won't be until next season, roughly a year's time away, and the memories there weren't much to begin with.
