Nets rally back from a 28-point deficit to stun the Celtics in 115-105 win thanks to new arrival Mikal Bridges, who leads comeback by scoring 38... while Boston loses more ground on East-leading Milwaukee

The Brooklyn Nets overcame a 28-point deficit to stun the Boston Celtics 115-105 on Friday night.

Part of the trade that sent Kevin Durant to Phoenix, Mikal Bridges proved a crucial weapon in the Nets' arsenal Friday night as he scored 38 points to help them topple the Celtics.

He has reached 30 or more points in three of Brooklyn´s last six games. He also had 10 rebounds, playing nearly 43 minutes.

Fellow former Sun Cam Johnson added 20 points. Dorian Finney-Smith finished with 17.

It is the largest comeback by a Boston opponent since the Los Angeles Clippers also rallied from 28 down to beat Boston 123-112 at TD Garden on February 9, 2019.
