The Nets’ seven-game winning streak — the best currently in the NBA — was hard to see coming. The fact it was right on the heels of a league-worst eight-game skid — just the fifth time that has happened, according to Elias Sports Bureau — makes it almost impossible to believe.
And just as hard to explain.
The Nets hadn’t won seven in a row since their first season in Brooklyn in 2012-13. And a victory Friday against the Pacers would give them their longest run since they won 14 in a row from March 12-April 6, 2006.
