## Key points

- Brooklyn’s early offence relied too heavily on Randle isolations.
- More movement and handoffs have coincided with a 3-3 run.
- The Nets’ Offensive Rating rose from 104.8 to 113.4.

## Summary

The Nets have started to move away from an offence centred on Julius Randle isolations, after a winless opening stretch showed that poor spacing and limited movement were stalling their attack. In their next six games they went 3-3, with more dribble handoffs and players moving with greater purpose helping the team find a better balance.

Across the first five games, Randle averaged 5.4 isolations and Brooklyn’s Offensive Rating was 104.8. In the following six, his isolations fell to 2.3, while Day’Ron Sharpe’s assists rose from 1.2 to 6.5; the team’s Offensive Rating increased to 113.4. Coach Jordi Fernández said the group was running the same plays with more purpose, as players learned how to fit their skills around Randle’s scoring.
