One thing has been apparent in the Brooklyn Nets‘ last two losses: The team does not have a closer.
This was evident last season as Brooklyn was just 15-21 in games decided by six points or less.
Caris LeVert was beginning to look like that guy for Brooklyn prior to his injury. The 24-year-old scored game-winning baskets with one second remining in wins over the Knicks and Nuggets earlier in the season.
LeVert will be a foundational piece for years to come, but is still not a No. 1 option on a playoff team.
