Despite the NBA’s best efforts this year to nerf load management, teams are still punting games from time to time. Tonight, the Brooklyn Nets were back deep for the return. Like a prime Tavon Austin (queue up Hell & Back by Kid Ink), they took it to the house and beat the Miami Heat by a 112-97 final score.
With Miami keeping Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Duncan Robinson in street clothes tonight, you don’t want to make a mountain out of a molehill with this win. Not all wins against the Eastern Conference champs are created equal, despite them counting all the same in the standings.
