Anytime a team with a star-studded roster falls at the hands of a less shiny, non-title contending team, it feels like a direct punch to the gut. Hunched over in pain, you can’t help but think “we should have beaten them” over and over again.
For years, the Brooklyn Nets were the lock to take those shots. But this time, it was Brooklyn wearing the gloves and dealing out the damage rather than taking it. Needless to say, it was good to watch tonight.
The Nets got their first home victory, taking out the newly assembled Los Angeles Clippers by a 100-93 score.
