The Brooklyn Nets had flipped their own script Tuesday night, quickly erasing a four-point deficit early in the fourth quarter to open the lead up to as much as eight points over the Miami Heat.
But with less than six minutes left, the Nets had gone cold and the Heat were fighting back.
Ed Davis lost the ball out of bounds and Miami responded with an inside bucket from Hassan Whiteside, who completed the and-one to cut Brooklyn’s lead to five.
Rondae Hollis-Jefferson sent the ball flying out of bounds while attempting to go behind his back and Whiteside’s tip-in cut the lead to three.
