BROOKLYN, N.Y. — One team is admittedly tanking, one team is not. One has their draft pick, the other does not. Both are in the basement of the NBA standings.
So, we should all feel so lucky on this St. Paddy’s Day that the Nets picked up a much-needed victory over the Dallas Mavericks, 114-106, Saturday night at Barclays Center. The Nets snapped a three-game losing streak and 10-game losing streak against Western coast teams.
Hey, a win is a win.
The Nets started the game on an 11-0 run and shot a hair under 50 percent from three in the first half.
