HOUSTON — After Nerlens Noel’s first NBA action in a month, and his first-ever game with the Nets, he was tired and winded. And, as Mikal Bridges reminded him from across the victorious locker room, undefeated.
“It felt good,” said Noel, 28, a former Knick. “It felt good to get some rust off. Yeah, a little winded in the first minutes, but it’s normal. Nobody can get away from that. But I’ve been doing a fair share. But at this point I just want to keep building on that, defensive-first mentality, rebounding, just try and make sure I bring a winning mentality to the game.”New Net Nerlens Noel reaches to grab a rebound during Brooklyn’s 118-96 victory over the Rockets.
“Even before I got here [Claxton] was one of my favorite bigs to watch, similar styles, especially early on. And he’s just getting better and better,” Noel said. “I’m in his corner and I want to help him continue to develop the right way. He’s balling. He’s got a different thing, winning basketball, winning plays.”
Bridges had his right wrist wrapped after his 30-point game Tuesday. He had taken a knock to the wrist against the Hornets on Sunday, but said he’s OK.
