New rules. It took a weird turn at the end of regulation, but the Brooklyn Nets needed five extra minutes to beat the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night and exert some franchise demons along the way. It was the team’s first regular season win there since 2002 and win their since Game Two of the 2003 NBA Finals. Make it happen.
The opponent tonight will be the Houston Rockets. It’s been a rough, rough year for Stephen Silas’ club as they find themselves squarely on the outside of the playoff picture.
