Nets’ Danny Wolf makes most of long-awaited opportunity with big performance

Danny Wolf seized a rare chance to play a major role as Brooklyn beat Charlotte 114-104, helping the Nets turn a nine-point deficit into a lead. His performance could strengthen his case for a regular place in the rotation after limited opportunities early in the season.

The 22-year-old forward scored 12 points on four-for-six shooting, including two three-pointers, and added five rebounds and three assists without a turnover. He finished with a plus-17 rating, played the entire fourth quarter and helped spark an 11-0 run after Noah Clowney left with knee soreness. Across three games this season, Wolf is averaging 9.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 15.3 minutes.
