Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

🔮 Julius Randle, who made three All-Star games in his five years playing for the Knicks, will face his old team for the first time as a Net.
🔮 I think we started and we fought in that first quarter, but then we couldn’t sustain anything, very similar to the last game against Detroit.
🔮 The Nets have glaring personnel issues that may limit their defensive ceiling, but they’ve underachieved offensively due to a lack of chemistry and cohesion.
🔮 And though Brown ended up in star-studded Philadelphia (with LeBron James, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey), he could’ve landed in Brooklyn.
🔮 But neither could match Tatum, who poured in a game-high 40 points, eight assists, five rebounds and a career-high 18 (on 22 attempts) from the free-throw line.
🔮 “I wouldn’t say pressure. …
🔮 With the Nets dragging a winless 0-3 record into TD Garden, seeing Brown potentially play alongside Dëmin would give fans something to look forward to.
🔮 But had Durant not been sold on becoming Brooklyn’s franchise player, sources told The Post that they would have invested in a still up-and-coming Randle.
🔮 It will be enough to buoy his confidence.
🔮 Rookie Mikel Brown Jr. — the centerpiece of the Nets rebuild — is set to make his anticipated NBA debut in Wednesday’s season opener against the visiting Hornets.
