Tonight’s contest between the Brooklyn Nets and Dallas Mavericks was exactly as vibrant and colorful as it looked from a visuals perspective. In case you didn’t watch, both teams wore all grey, white, and black uniforms. They also played on a grey court. So yeah, it was nothing special.
After Dallas jumped up on Brooklyn 19-8 about halfway through the opening period, Brooklyn’s deficit floated around the 10-15 point margin almost all game. The Nets trailed by 19 going into the fourth and this time stayed behind until the end.
It was a rare night of bliss for one team whose fans have been in the torture chamber ever since February — and just a forgettable one for the others who’ve been in it since.
