Brooklyn Nets
Record: 33-40; —
Next up is the Brooklyn Nets, who are fresh off of a huge home victory over the Indiana Pacers. This game was arguably the most significant one that Brooklyn has played all year — and they looked great.
Brook Lopez and Joe Johnson carried the team, while Alan Anderson and Jarrett Jack came off the bench and had a big impact down the stretch. While this game does not solidify a playoff berth, it does give Brooklyn a nice advantage heading into their last nine games of the year.
Next, they take on the New York Knicks which should help cushion their lead over the Celtics for the 8th seed.
