After the Brooklyn Nets’ 126-120 loss to the Boston Celtics in TD Garden Sunday, Kyrie Irving said “I’m going to have to show up even more so” in order to help get the team out of their downward spiral. In the very next game, Irving put on one of the best games of his Nets career to lead them to a much-needed victory.
The Nets defeated the Charlotte Hornets, 132-121, at Spectrum Center Tuesday night. With the win, Brooklyn (33-33) leapfrogs Charlotte (32-34) in the Eastern Conference Standings to take sole possession of the eighth-seed.
