When free throws nearly decide your fate in a mid-March game, it’s time to revisit the team’s priorities. The Brooklyn Nets had that issue Saturday night over what resulted in a crunch-time win over the Atlanta Hawks.
The team shot just 61 percent from the charity stripe and it nearly cost them a much need win. As they continue to reach for a playoff spot, games they can afford to miss 21 free throws will become few and far in between.
The postseason’s been the goal for Brooklyn for some time now, dating back to the start of last season.
