The Brooklyn Nets could launch their own cinematic universe with the amount of horror stories they’ve seen play out over the past 15 years. Looking back on their sour trades and untimely injuries can be like sitting down for a marathon of The Conjuring movies. A loss to the Wembanyama-hunting Detroit Pistons in a must-win game tonight would have surely added to that.
While the Nets queued up a serious third quarter jump scare, a “fun for the whole family” motion picture eventually unfolded. The Nets stomped all over the Eastern Conference’s doormat, taking down the Pistons 123-108 via yet another full-team effort.
