Even on New York’s coldest night in a long time, the visiting team from up north never looked comfortable at the Barclays Center. To be fair, the Nets were a bit out of rhythm as well, with both teams struggling to find consistent offensive cohesion.
Regardless, Brooklyn walked away with a 115-103 victory, notching their third straight dub in a row. Bobbing up and down on the .500 mark all season, they’re currently on the positive side of that equation, sitting tight with a 9-8 record.
It’s a bittersweet victory if you’re and In-Season Tournament enthusiast, as the Nets did not win by a large enough margin to acquire a wild card spot.
