It wasn’t enough that the Brooklyn Nets were facing the Golden State Warriors, the Western Conference’s #1 seed, in game two of a back-to-back on Monday night. No, they needed an even bigger challenge after the night after securing a fantastic, gutty win for Head Coach Jordi Fernández in his return Sacramento.
Half of Brooklyn’s rotation was unavailable against the Dubs, meaning they'd have ten available players. That includes two-ways Tyrese Martin and Dariq Whitehead, the latter of whom boarded a flight from Toronto to the Bay Area early Monday morning just to be available.
