Deron Williams and MarShon Brooks showed an ability to work off of each other as the New Jersey Nets topped the Charlotte Bobcats 97-87 at home on Sunday. Williams scored 19 points on 8-17 shooting with 10 assists, nine rebounds (so close!) and six turnovers, while Brooks, a rookie, popped in 20 points on 9-17 shooting with six rebounds. Charlotte, an anemic offensive club, ended up shooting better than New Jersey, but the Nets leaned on a huge advantage on the glass and much better free throw shooting to get the win.
