A special night for an all time great. On Saturday night, the Brooklyn Nets retired Vince Carter’s jersey as his #15 ascended to the Barclays Center rafters. It was the perfect end to a perfect week celebrating one of the franchise’s greatest players. The team itself played and lost against the Miami Heat, but they got the main thing right.
The opponent tonight is, somehow, still in the playoff chase. It’s been a long year for the Sacramento Kings, but coming into this game they are in the tenth and final spot for the postseason.
