The Nets were hotter than hot against the Nuggets on Wednesday night, snapping a three-game losing streak and beating one of the best teams in the NBA pretty handily until the last few minutes. It fell apart just enough to let Denver back in for a (very anxious) minute.
Despite the mini-collapse, Brooklyn pulled out one of their more impressive wins this season. A gift from whoever puts together the leagues schedules, the game will pit the Nets against the Bulls in Brooklyn. In this next one, they’ll try to make it to the All-Star break in one piece.
