The Brooklyn Nets played two wildly different halves of a back-to-back to close out the week, losing a slovenly game to the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday before running the Cleveland Cavaliers out of their own gym on Sunday.
Brooklyn shot 18-of-35 from deep in Cleveland, good for a season-high 51.4%, including a flurry of buzzer-beaters and swished prayers that put the contest away by the end of the third quarter. It was enough to earn the Nets a rare trip home in the middle of their six-game road trip, which would continue against the Orlando Magic after two days off.
