Michael Porter Leads Nets with 22 Points, Nine Boards in Loss

Michael Porter contributed 22 points (6-16 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, and two steals across 38 minutes in Thursday's 86-105 loss to the Thunder. Despite struggling from beyond the arc, Porter led the Brooklyn Nets in scoring. His participation in the second leg of a back-to-back set is encouraging for his availability, though caution is advised regarding player management by tanking teams.
