Brooklyn Nets. JARED DUDLEY. A. 20 MIN, 10 PTS, 4-for-5 (2-for-3), 4 AST, 2 PF, 1 STL, +6. PF

Jared Dudley on Sunday did precisely what Brooklyn Nets coach Kenny Atkinson puts him out there do to — hit open shots and keep the ball moving.

Dudley performed very well on both counts after taking a bagel in the scoring column at Memphis on Friday night.

Plus, how can you not love a guy who inspires this?

This is a loose bunch right now. Winning does that for a team.

B+. 15 MIN, 0-for-4 (0-for-2), 2 AST, 1 BLK, +8. SF. Brooklyn Nets. TREVEON GRAHAM

Treveon Graham missed all four of his shots, went scoreless in 15 minutes … and did a lot to help the Brooklyn Nets win the game.

Defensively, he’s big enough to guard 4s and quick enough to guard 1-3 on the perimeter. He has a nice feel for finding open guys and moving the ball offensively — remarkable considering he was playing in just his fourth game of the season and only his second since mid-October.

The shooting touch will come. Graham showed enough in his two seasons with the Charlotte Hornets to understand he can knock down open shots. It’s as much a question of getting timing and comfort levels back as anything.

Particularly with Rondae Hollis-Jefferson out for the near term, Graham’s role as a switchy defender will be important moving forward.

  • Allen Crabbe (sore right knee, 12th straight game missed, 13th overall)
