It'll be the second meeting between the two teams this preseason. They played Oct. 13 in a game won by Brooklyn, 108-105, in overtime. That was the franchise's first as the Brooklyn Nets, in a game incidentally played in Atlantic City, N.J., their old home state. Brook Lopez scored 19 to lead the Nets.
