The Nets have been waiting for Caris LeVert to get his rhythm back. They have been looking for him to rediscover his chemistry with D’Angelo Russell.

They got both Monday night, and it spelled an easy 101-85 rout of San Antonio in front of 13,479 at Barclays Center.

“It was huge for us,” LeVert said. “Every game is important for us, especially home games are important for us. Especially this homestand we have right now before we have that monster schedule in the middle of March. The more wins we get now the better.”

It was huge because the Nets (32-30) snapped a skid against their nemesis, a Spurs team that had beaten them seven straight times. It was huge because Brooklyn snapped a 3-7 stretch with its first back-to-back victories since a six-game run last month.

But the biggest development may have been LeVert not only having a strong performance, but putting his will on a game while Russell also excelled.

“I’m getting there. I need to watch more film, but every game I’m getting more comfortable,” LeVert said. “I’m not too worried about it because I know I put the work in. I’m more worried about helping the team win. Seeing where I was just a couple of months ago, it’s a blessing to be out there.”

Russell had a team-high 23 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. But the most auspicious sign LeVert — in his sixth game back after returning from what was nearly a three-month layoff — putting up 15 points, seven assists and five boards.

“I think it’s great,” said DeMarre Carroll, who had a game-high 12 rebounds. “Now it’s all about being consistent. His biggest thing is you’ve just got to get over that mental hump. Like when I had my ankle surgery, I had to get over that mental hump. Now I think he just has to get over that mental hump. You can see it coming. It’s going to come. Once we get everybody back, we’ll be good.”

The Nets looked good Monday, sitting sixth in the East. They stayed 1 ½ games ahead of Detroit and moved three clear of Charlotte.

Brooklyn led 40-36 after LaMarcus Aldridge (game-high 26 points) got free for a dunk with 3:04 left in the second quarter. But that’s when LeVert, who had been held scoreless to that point, had every Nets point in a 12-2 run to end the half while running the point.

The Nets took a 52-38 lead into the break and Russell helped pad that lead. He hit a 3-pointer from near the logo that made it 72-51 midway through the third that had the bench going crazy.

“When D-Lo gets it rolling it’s one of those situations where you just try not to get in his way,” said Joe Harris, who had 15 points on 5-of-7 from deep.

“He earned it,” coach Kenny Atkinson said. “Some of my assistant coaches were going crazy over there, ‘What is he doing?’ But I do think with D-Lo you’ve got to give him some freedom. That’s part of the reason he’s flourished. He needs a certain amount of freedom. I know the tipping point where we’ve got to bring him back. But he’s a creative player who plays well with freedom, a green light.”

Russell flourished with one, and Allen Crabbe followed with a 3 of his own to give them a 22-point cushion with 2:09 left in the period.

The fourth wasn’t much of a contest. When the Nets saw the lead cut to 93-81, Russell found LeVert for a 3 to stem the tide.

“[It’s] very encouraging,” Atkinson said. “His drive game was good, he hit a big 3 in the fourth when we were struggling to get a bucket, D’Angelo found him. Those two, they’re getting their chemistry back a little. D-Lo had most of the load before Caris came back, but I can see them starting to come together a bit. Having them both have good games, that’s key for us.”
