Brooklyn figured out how to win without its most versatile offensive player Monday night.
Feed Brook Lopez early and often, keep Reggie Evans active on the glass and put the ball in Joe Johnson's hands with the game on the line.
It may need to keep that formula a while longer.
Lopez scored 25 points, Evans grabbed 22 rebounds and Johnson tied the score with a 10-foot bank shot to force overtime before closing it out with four straight free throws to give the Nets an 89-84 victory -- their first in six tries at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
