Things are looking up (just don’t squint too hard) in the borough. The Brooklyn Nets, following a four-game tumble out of the post-All Star Break gates, are 4-1 in their last five games, taking care of business when they’re supposed to (Houston, Charlotte) and beating playoff teams on the road (Boston, Minnesota). Mikal Bridges can’t stop scoring 30 points a game, even if he wanted to, even if almost none of his buckets are layups. Maybe Brooklyn got to keep some of Kevin Durant’s jump-shooting ability in a jar as a part of their trade with the Phoenix Suns?
