This probably won’t go down in the archives as one of the finest victories in Brooklyn Nets franchise history.
After leading by as many as 23 points, the Brooklyn Nets saw that advantage dwindle to just one in crunch time. Behind some late-game shotmaking from Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, however, the Nets were able to hang on, winning 122-116 to improve to 14-12 on the season. Brooklyn has also improved to 5-1 in the recent 6-game homestand, 8-3 since they were embarrassed by the Kings on November 17.
As mentioned, Kyrie Irving was spectacular down the stretch, putting up Brooklyn’s four final points and dropping 33 in total on a nice 14-of-24 shooting line.
