SACRAMENTO, Calif. — If the Nets make the playoffs, they’ll look back at Tuesday’s 123-121 miracle win over the Kings as the result that got them there.
Here’s how improbable the rally was:
The Nets allowed the Kings a 20-0 run to start the second half, trailed by as many as 28 points late in the third quarter, and were still down by 25 to start the fourth.
But they refused to lose. D’Angelo Russell wouldn’t let them, pouring in a career-high 44 points.
