As the trade deadline debris began to dissipate Friday night, we were treated to the sight of another gritty, thrilling, and (maybe?) counterproductive Brooklyn Nets win. Monday evening, with the dust completely settled despite the Los Angeles Lakers and Charlotte Hornets kicking some more up over the weekend, we got to see the team get another one ... much easier.
While the scoreboard advertised a rather close contest, the Nets inflated a sizable lead early before coasting to a win vs the Hornets. It’s a style of victory that’s evaded the team for much of the year.
