With a four-game losing streak, it’s probably not a good time to extol the Nets offense, but the Nets in-house beat writer, Tom Dowd, reports, the team is putting up big numbers and in particular, despite the recent adversity and season-long spate of injuries, clutch numbers.
One stat that got a lot of play this week was the Nets ability to close games. The second loss in Milwaukee was also the second loss of the season for the Nets when entering the fourth quarter with a lead. The Nets are now 33-2 and in those games.
Similarly, Dowd reports, the Nets have been clutch as a team.
