Jeremy Lin had 21 points and just missed a triple-double in his Brooklyn home debut, helping the Nets to a 103-94 NBA win over Indiana.
Lin finished with nine rebounds and nine assists, drawing some delirious cheers the way he briefly did during his run of Linsanity last time he played in New York, with the Knicks in 2012.
Brook Lopez led the way for Brooklyn with 25 points on Friday night.
Sean Kilpatrick hit consecutive three-pointers during the decisive fourth-quarter surge as the Nets gave new coach Kenny Atkinson his first victory, not far from where the Northport native grew up.
Kilpatrick added 18 points for the Nets, who lost to Boston in their opener.
