BROOKLYN, N.Y. — After Thanksgiving, Nets needed some home cooking against the Celtics. And like Biggie once said, “Damn right I like the life I live, because I went from negative to positive.”
Playing in the second game of a home-and-home against the 13-5 Boston Celtics, the 10-9 Brooklyn Nets got the redemption they sought, defeating Kyrie’s former team, 112-107, Friday afternoon at Barclays Center.
The Nets were yet again without Kyrie Irving and Caris LeVert, not to mention Kevin Durant and Wilson Chandler. Instead, Spencer Dinwiddie once again led the charge with 32 points, 11 assists, five rebounds, two blocked shots and two steals.
