Taurean Prince was next with 14 points, connecting on 4-of-5 3-pointers. In the two games in China, Prince made 8-of-11 3-point attempts.
The Nets were without Kyrie Irving, who left Thursday's game in the opening minute after taking a shot to his recently injured face. Irving was listed out with a facial contusion. But LeVert, who also left Thursday's game early, took over the show after being listed as questionable to play.
