Cam Thomas takes over as Nets rout Bucks for first win

Jordi Fernandez got his first win as an NBA head coach. The Nets got their first victory of the season, 115-102, over Milwaukee.

And the sellout crowd of 17,926 at Barclays Center went home happy — including Fernandez’s family, several of whom flew in all the way from Spain to soak in the moment.

“Very excited. My wife’s here, my kids are here, my parents are here, my mother-in-law and her husband are here,” said Fernandez, the first NBA head coach from Spain. Now he’s the first Spaniard to notch a win. “It doesn’t get better than this, the fans, right?

“So, speaking about myself and my family. And then it’s always good to play at home. You know, that extra energy you have that sixth player brings with the fans. It’s pretty cool, and I’m excited to play our first game here.”

It was a first game, a home opener, that broke all sorts of negative streaks for Brooklyn (1-2).

The Nets had dropped their past three home openers, tying the worst such skid in team history (done twice, from 1991-93 and 1987-89).
