For the third time in as many years, the Brooklyn Nets played an early-to-mid February game that felt rather meaningless. While they didn’t ship out any franchise cornerstones this time around, they did partake in what ended up as a rather active trade deadline for the league.
As a result, their bout tonight vs the Cleveland Cavaliers who made it through the league-wide fire sale without any transactions, felt like an undercard rather than the main event. Nonetheless, the Cavs threw the Nets out of the ring this evening, winning by a 118-95 margin.
