It was a struggle most of the night offensively for Brooklyn. Without Brook Lopez the Nets lacked a go-to scorer. They shot only 43.6 percent from the field and an ugly 29 percent from deep. The Mavericks didn’t fare any better overall from the field, going 33-of-78 for 42.3 percent. But, the Mavericks shot it well from deep, making 42.4 percent of their three-pointers, going 14-of-33; the Nets went only 9-of-31.

That is where the Nets were beaten, as Dirk Nowitzki, Seth Curry, Harrison Barnes, and former Net Yogi Ferrell all had multiple three-pointers.

Three Stars

PG Isaiah Whitehead, Nets — The rookie point guard had a career-high scoring night. Without Lopez the Nets needed someone to step up scoring the ball and Whitehead did. He scored 24 points, going 8-of-12 from the field and 3-of-6 from the three-point line; he also made all five of his free throws. That was pretty much all Whitehead provided in his time on the court, as the only other stat he had was one assist.

PF Trevor Booker, Nets — Booker came off the bench tonight as the Nets are getting a look at their younger players. He played only 27 minutes but still had solid numbers. Booker scored 15 points to go along with seven rebounds and three assists. Booker could see his minutes decrease with the season winding down but as long as he is on the court he will continue to produce.

SF Harrison Barnes, Mavericks — Barnes led the way scoring-wise for the Mavericks tonight. He poured in a team-high 21, going 7-of-15 from the field, including 2-of-3 from deep and all five free throws. He would also add seven rebounds for a solid night.
