Well, it wasn’t pretty, but that’s been the theme all season for this Brooklyn Nets team. After trailing by as many as 17 points in the second half, Brooklyn would turn up the pressure on defense and hold the Mavericks to 13 fourth-quarter points thus propelling them to a 102-99 comeback win.
For most of the night, the Nets seemed to be in a malaise on both ends of the floor. The offense appeared to be stuck in the mud and just could not find a rhythm. Even though the Nets were shooting over 50% from the field at halftime, they still trailed by 12.
