As one Ralph Cifaretto might put it, “a little f***in’ levity”.
That’s what Brooklyn Nets fans have been in desperate search of for two months. A bitter, Sunday loss to the Boston Celtics didn’t bring any. That the Nets played a sound game in Boston against one of the league’s best teams this calendar year was rightfully overshadowed by the loss bookmarking a 3-17 stretch. Contenders don’t have time for moral victories, especially not when there have been so few in the box scores.
But that loss now tastes a lot sweeter, being followed by two distinctly important wins.
