Live from Mexico City, playing in a 22,300-seat arena, 7,300 feet above sea level, the Brooklyn Nets and Oklahoma City Thunder played the first of two global games this weekend.
They gave the fans a good one.
In a defensive battle, yes defensive battle, the Brooklyn Nets (10-14) snapped Oklahoma City’s 3-game winning streak with a 100-95 victory, Thursday night. The Nets converted on just one field goal in the final 4:38, but their defense propelled them to victory after holding OKC to just 16 points in the fourth quarter.
Caris LeVert was the player of the game on both sides of the ball and on either team.
