Holding things down. The Brooklyn Nets came out of the trade deadline with a Friday night showdown with the Miami Heat. The Nets used a dominant defensive fourth quarter to roll on to a home win.
The opponent tonight is deep in its rebuild. The Charlotte Hornets were getting obliterated by the Detroit Pistons, but they went on a furious second half run to get back into it. They got as close as two points, but ran out of gas down the stretch as the Pistons came away with the win.
