Another real opportunity to win a basketball awaited the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday evening, when they returned home to Barclays Center, fresh off a gutty, come-from-behind victory against the Toronto Raptors on Thursday evening.
Following the Dennis Schröder trade, a blowout on their own floor and a whole lot of chatter about the state of the franchise, Thursday’s victory was more in line with what Head Coach Jordi Fernández has established in his first year in Brooklyn. Despite a rare rough shooting night, the Nets scrapped, executed, and veterans that may not be long for the borough led them to victory.
