Back-to-back, except not in the good way. The Brooklyn Nets were on the second leg of a b2b Saturday night in Portland. They fought like they usually do and lost like they usually do, this time by 14 to the Trailblazers. Only a few more games to go before they return home.
Waiting for the Nets will be the Memphis Grizzlies. They've continued to play tough under new head coach David Fitzdale and have an outside shot of getting the fourth seed and homecourt advantage in the first round. They've been in a mini slump as they're on a two game losing streak after losing to the Houston Rockets on Saturday night.
