Close but not enough. The Brooklyn Nets put up a good fight, but the Miami Heat were too hot to handle on Monday night. The Nets are now 11-18 and out of the play-in picture for now.
The opponent tonight is on an upswing. After a truly horrendous start, the Milwaukee Bucks are climbing up the standings and hope to make a big push come playoff time. They helped the cause by beating the Chicago Bulls by 21 points on Monday.
