The B in Brooklyn is for Bench Mob! The Brooklyn Nets slept walk through much of the night, but the bench carried the day and they did just enough to beat a shorthanded Los Angeles Lakers team at Barclays Center on Monday night. As we enter into a new month, the Nets find themselves solidly in fourth place in the Eastern Conference playoff picture.
The opponent tonight stands on top of the Eastern Conference. The Boston Celtics have the best record in the NBA and are a good bet to be on top the East come playoff time.
